The Floating Venice hotel with 24 pools, 12 beaches & underwater restaurants happening in Dubai

On the first day of Cityscape (Monday September 11) we heard of Expo 2020’s plans to preserve the legacy of the show way beyond its years, with District 2020.

Now, one of the most ambitious announcements of the year has been unveiled, and it effectively means Dubai is getting its own Venice.
A huge, Dhs2.5 billion floating resort called The Floating Venice is due to be constructed near The World islands. More than 3,000 guests can be accommodated daily at the four-floor resort, which will also feature a huge amount of restaurants, beaches, pools and sealife attractions.
The resort will cost a staggering US$680 million (Dhs2.5 billion) to construct, and will in essence create an aquatic city four kilometres off the Dubai coastline.
