User ID: 80584808 Canada 07/09/2021 05:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | World's deepest pool opens in Dubai, part of huge underwater city Is this literally the worlds greatest swimming pool??? Amazing what stupid money will buy you... Already home to the world's tallest skyscraper and the world's largest mall, Dubai has just opened another record-breaking attraction -- the deepest dive pool in the world. With a staggering depth of 60 meters (196 feet), the pool, part of the new Deep Dive Dubai attraction -- has stolen the record from Poland's Deepspot, which has a depth of over 45 meters. The Deep Dive Dubai pool is filled with 14 million liters of fresh water -- the volume of six Olympic-sized swimming pools -- and is at least four times bigger than any other diving pool in the world. Guinness awarded it the "Deepest swimming pool for diving" title on June 27. The facility is open by invitation only for now but will open to the public later this year. The crown prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, a keen diver, was one of the first visitors and shared his experience on social media. Water temperature is maintained at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), a comfortable temperature for wearing a thin wetsuit or a swimsuit.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79663216 I believe you can drink in hotels? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76699274 Plenty of clubs and bars where you can drink. Foreigners only. No Emiratis. Emiratis also drink but they hide it. They certainly drink when they are in London and/or French Riviera. Orgies on their yachts off territorial waters. They are hypocrites. I came. I saw. I Concorde.
For once you have tasted Concorde you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
