People have long been attracted to the mysteries of marine life, and fascination with aquariums is seen world wide. Scheduled to open this month is the Hydropolis Dubai, a much anticipated luxury underwater hotel in the middle of desert. It will include 220 suites submerged under 66 feet of water. The Hydropolis is being promoted as one of the world’s most extravagant tourist attractions of the near future intended to bring awareness of the sea. Due to the ease of air travel, travellers are seeking new worlds to explore, forcing tourism providers to establish more unique attractions and accommodations.  In order to enter this surreal space, visitors will begin at the land station. This 120m woven, semicircular cylinder will arch over a multi-storey building. On the lowest level passengers board a noiseless train propelled by fully automated cable along a modular, self-supporting steel guideway to Hydropolis. A just-in-time and on-demand logistical system will facilitate efficient supply of goods to the hotel.
The upper storeys of the land station house a variety of facilities, including a cosmetic surgical clinic, a marine biological research laboratory and conference facilities. On the lower levels are the staff rooms, goods storage and loading areas, and hotel and parking areas.
The land station also includes a restaurant and high-tech cinema screening the evolution of life in the ocean and the history of underwater architecture. As a finale, the screen will open to reveal the real-life Hydropolis. A viewing platform at the front opening of the spanning roof will allow views of the architecture as well as the light shows of Hydropolis.
