Saudi: World's Biggest Floating City 'Pangeos' to Travel The World

Inspired from the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, Pangeos, turtle-shaped floating city includes beach clubs, malls, rooftop gardens and residences. Best of all, it will be the world’s biggest floating structure.

The $5 billion terayacht structure would eventually sail around the world with no fixed abode, while proposed to be located at King Abdullah Port, 81 miles north of Jeddah.

If approved the structure would take approximately eight years to build with the capacity to accommodate 60,000 people. The venue could hold 19 villas and 64 apartments, which are located on the wings of the structure.

It will have a terashipyard infrastructure, which is 650 meters wide and 600 meters long, would provide direct access to the sea and an opening for smaller vessels. 

Pangeos will be a sustainable creation, which draws its energy from the solar panel roof and ocean waves. Plus, 30,000 cells are situated in lower spaces and would keep the structure afloat.

While the structure is currently not confirmed, there is a crowdfunding initiative and it will soon be possible to experience it in the metaverse for entrance ticket and $169 for an apartment only.
