Check Out The Huge And Amazing Floating Resort That Spins On Water — Built By Qatar
We seem to hear about the construction of massive resorts in the Middle East by oil-rich nations to get visitors to travel there every other week. And yes, if you have the money, you should probably fly over there and have yourself a good time.
The most recent Arabian nation to do so is Qatar, which announced plans to construct a massive 8.6-acre floating luxury resort in Doha on the Persian Gulf. Known as The Eco-Floating Hotel, it was designed to use as little energy loss as possible while producing no waste.
The project's design firm, Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio (HAADS), claims that the 152-room, five-star hotel was "inspired by the sea." It went on to say:
"Due to its characteristic moving feature it generates electrical energy by rotating around its position according to the water current and provides users with different perspective experiences."
The resort will make use of a "dynamic positioning system" to retain its position while gently rotating around the clock, producing electricity in the process. The hotel will be accessible to visitors in three different ways: by boat, helicopter, or the pier that connects to the coast.
This is because a hotel this opulent is meant for the ultra-wealthy or don't you think so?
The opulent hotel will have a basketball court, a miniature golf course, and glass floors that will allow visitors to glimpse the underwater life

Each room has a large balcony, and visitors are going to get a 360-degree panorama of the resort's environment as the hotel slowly rotates—but not all at once, of course.
In addition to an indoor pool, gym, spa, and sauna, the resort will have a mini golf course. Outside, visitors can enjoy a basketball court and an outdoor pool.
The Eco-Floating Hotel's designers anticipate opening it as early as next year
Hayri Atak Architectural Design StudioIt coincides with Saudi Arabia's intentions to build a future megacity that will not require automobiles, a project that has so far cost them $1.3 trillion. The nation unveiled plans years ago to establish the megacity NEOM, which will be entirely powered by renewable energy sources and not require roads.
Construction has already begun on The Line, a single, car-free city that will be 170 km long and 200m wide and sit on the Red Sea coast. Residents will be transported from one end to the other by a train that runs back and forth down the center of the area.
"It will run on 100% renewable energy"
YouTubeAccording to NEOM's website, it says: "No roads, cars or emissions, it will run on 100% renewable energy and 95 percent of land will be preserved for nature." The Line is anticipated to be finished by 2030, although the entire project's completion has allegedly been delayed until 2045.
