Replicating The Moon
The ambitious $5 billion project is set to be built in the center of Dubai. Its highlight is a 735-foot-tall replica of the moon, with a 2,042-foot circumference, and will have realistic textures and craters to make it look lifelike.
Named “MOON,” the resort promises to provide an “affordable and entirely authentic space tourism experience” to customers.
A Luxurious Destination Resort
According to Michael Henderson, co-founder of Moon World Resorts, it will be “a very luxurious and contemporary, fully integrated destination resort, with a lot of components inside that one would already know.”
With State-Of-The-Art Suites
Suites will be equipped with high-tech features and a bevy of the most luxurious and exclusive sensory experiences.
“Windows To The Universe”
As the rooms are enclosed inside the “moon,” the suites will not have the usual windows. Instead, they will be equipped with futuristic “windows to the universe,” which will allow guests to display and visualize anything, so they can be anywhere they want in the world.
