A jumbo jet that is to be the centrepiece of the world’s largest eco-friendly underwater theme park has arrived in Bahrain.
Covering 100,000sqm, the exceptional dive experience will include several structures such as the submerged 70-metre Boeing 747 along with a traditional Bahraini pearl merchant’s house and artificial coral reefs.
The project will be officially launched in the coming months and is a collaborative effort between the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, the Supreme Council for Environment and the private sector.
Newspapers in the UAE quoted Fujairah Police officials as saying last month that the decommissioned plane was being transported to a “neighbouring Gulf country”.
