Ambitious plans have been revealed for a Moon-themed luxury resort in Dubai, UAE. Costing an estimated US$5bn (€5.1bn, £4.4bn), the development is set to cover a 10-acre area (435,600sq ft) and provide a "lunar colony" for tourists.
While exact details of the resort are yet to be confirmed, the designs show a giant replica of the Moon with a total height of 735ft (224m).
The concept and designs are the brainchild of Canadian architectural company, Moon World Resorts Inc (MWR).
Attractions within the resort will include "low gravity moonwalks", a range of hotel rooms and other accommodation options – including 300 "sky villas".
There are also plans for a wellness spa and entertainment venues.
The Dubai site is being planned as the first of a number of "Moon World Resorts".
To secure further sites, MWR plans to host a global roadshow during 2023, showcasing the concept to investors and potential partners in a number of regions.
According to MWR, despite the scale of the structure, the Moon resort will have a focus on sustainability and is being designed to achieve the requirements of a gold LEED certification.
