Dubai, the glittering city of superlatives, has announced plans to build the world’s first underwater luxury resort, modelled after the mystical city of Venice.
To be located 4km offshore from Dubai’s mainland, the US$680mil (RM2.78bil) Floating Venice will recreate the city’s labyrinthine alleyways, canals and main square, Piazza San Marco, in the form of a luxury resort that will be able to accommodate up to 3,000 guests.
