Part of the aim is to "rebrand Saudi Arabia as a top tier marine eco-tourism destination".

Red Sea Global's CEO John Pagano said: “We are welcoming the future of tourism to Saudi Arabia.
"These space-aged orbs are the first batch of 73 overwater villas for our iconic Sheybarah Resort at The Red Sea.”
