UFO-shaped underwater hotel called “Water Discus” planned in Dubai

Shipbuilding company Drydocks World has signed a multi-million deal with Swiss BIG InvestConsult to develop an partially submerged resort off the coast of Dubai, called the Water Discus Hotel. Designs show two discs, one fully submerged and one above sea level, the one submerged including 21 rooms with views of the surrounding coral reef 10 meters down and possible to be evacuated by lifting the entire disc out of the water.
