It lasted 5 years to be built and about 1 mil pounds were invested. The annual maintenance costs around 2 mil pounds. The extremely clear water tempts very many tourists try it. The second swimming pool as size is concerned is in Morroco and it has for about 150 yards in length and 100 yards in width. Even the Olympicsize pool has about 50 yards by 25 yards.
Due to a computer, the water is controlled easily and proper filtration is provided. The water is drawn in from the ocean at one end and pumping it out at the other. The sun warms the water up to 26° C, whereas the temperature in the sea next to the pool raises up to 9°C less.
