OQYANA World First launches first snorkeling lagoon on The World real estate development, Dubai |
OQYANA World First, the first fully master-planned island community on ‘The World' real estate development off the coast of Dubai, has announced the launch of the first snorkeling lagoon that will provide an opportunity to swim and snorkel among coral reefs and underwater sea life.
Dr. Wadad AlSuwayeh, CEO, OQYANA World First, said, "Around 60% of the development area is freed from any construction to avail open spaces for lagoons, parks, promenades, playgrounds, beaches and extensive landscaping to offer residents and guests the most comfortable surroundings possible. We have reshaped our islands to ensure that water is continually circulated for purity and can sustain marine life."
The Reef Lagoon will be located on the Great Barrier Island, one of the 22 islands comprising the Australian continent on ‘The World' real estate development. The first phase of construction will commence in 2008. The facility will be serviced by International Diving Centre.
