World’s largest underwater theme park to open in Dubai

Plans are moving forward to build the largest underwater tourism attraction in the

world in Dubai: the theme park is set to include scuba diving and snorkeling in a

space modeled after the mythical Lost City of Atlantis.
To be developed by the same outfit that has designed sets for blockbuster movies

like “Avatar” and “Pirates of the Caribbean,” the Pearl of Dubai is being billed as

the largest sustainable underwater tourism site as it will stretch across five acres

off the city coast, reported emirates247.com.
Los Angeles-based underwater developer Reef Worlds made the official

announcement last week.
The underwater attraction will be designed to excite the imagination with

submerged ruins and references to a mythical, sunken empire.
The artificial reef, to be built in shallow waters of The World islands, will also aim

to foster marine life with colonies of algae and soft corals, reported The National

earlier this year when plans were still afoot.
The World is an artificial archipelago of small islands constructed to resemble a

world map in Dubai.
Reef Worlds also has its eye on developing the waterfront in the Philippines.
A completion date has yet to be announced.
