The 750-hectare mixed-use community will feature 12 lagoons in total, upon completion, utilising 100 hectares of salt water sourced from underground aquifers. The lagoons will be a major leisure attraction for visitors and residents occupying the 30,000 planned residential units, along with hotels, golf courses, marinas, museums and a shopping mall.
‘What is truly unique about this project is not only its desert setting but the fact that, thanks to our technological innovation, we are able to take water that is not being used elsewhere, and make it a sustainable feature within a traditionally arid desert landscape, which adds tangible real estate value to the development,” says Carlos Salas, regional director Middle East, Crystal Lagoons.
