The Hydropolis Underwater Hotel and Resort is a planned hotel which will be the world's first underwater luxury resort.
It's situated 66 feet below the surface of the Persian Gulf, just off Jumeira Beach in Dubai. Reinforced by concrete and steel, its Plexiglas walls and bubble-shaped dome ceilings will enable guests to see fish and other sea creatures.
It is basically divided into three sections: the land station, where guests will be welcomed; the connecting tunnel, which will transport people by train to the main area of the hotel; and the 220 suites within the submarine leisure complex. It will cover an area of 260 hectares, about the size of London's Hyde Park, and will cost an estimated £300 million. It is self-acclaimed to be a 10-star hotel.

The hotel was scheduled to open in late 2007. However, as of February 2007, Hydropolis' launch has been rescheduled, due to cost issues and concerns over the project's impact on marine life, the project has faced major delays, and it is now scheduled to open in 2009.

    I read an article once that said the future of the world will be underground and underwater cos of Global Warming, it would be too hot to live above ground.
    If thats true this can be a step for the advancement of the necessary technology.

    talk about sleeping with the fishes.

    About the artificial thing I've heard that too, and the people there too become artificial. I know alot of people living in Dubai and they tell me that people there become really fake.

    Exactly. And I think, we Lebanese, have a better idea of the subject because we know many who travel there to work.
