Hydropolis Undersea Resort

The $500-million Hydropolis Undersea Resort is the world’s first underwater hotel. Makes me wonder, what is there to see when the marine species is about to extinct in the near future?

In Dubai, where hotels are prized for ostentation, a group of commercial developers is hyping the creation of the $500-million Hydropolis Undersea Resort.
