Dubai: The largest and deepest swimming pool in the world has earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records

Dubai already boasts the tallest skyscraper in the world and the largest shopping mall in the world. This week the city set a new world record for the largest and deepest swimming pool in the world as this largest city in the United Arab Emirates tries to attract tourists again amid the pandemic.

“This pool is 60 meters deep, 15 meters deeper than any other pool in the world and twice as big,” explains Jarod Jablonski, director of Deep Dive Dubai, which manages the project. As he adds, the pool opened its doors to the public on Wednesday, while it also has an underwater city and modern lighting and sound systems that create a different atmosphere. It contains as much water as six Olympic-sized swimming pools, or 14.6 million liters, according to him.

The Guinness Book of World Records has confirmed to the French Agency this new world record, which to date has been held by the Deepspot swimming pool in Poland with a depth of over 45 meters.

According to CNN, the water temperature is at 30 degrees Celsius. Divers can explore it by scuba diving or scuba diving.

An hour-long visit costs from 115 to 345 euros. In addition, the pool serves as an underwater movie studio, the largest of its kind in the area, according to CNN. In 2019, more than 16 million tourists visited Dubai.
