The monumental crystalline lagoon at Citystars Sharm El Sheikh, located in Egypt and developed with Crystal Lagoons® technology, continues to capture global attention. Spanning 28.8 acres of turquoise waters, it stands as a true oasis in the heart of the Sinai desert. This unique body of water is sustained by saline water extracted from desert wells, a resource that would otherwise go unused, thus creating a tropical refuge in a sterile environment.
This Crystal Lagoons project has been praised in numerous international reports for its unique features. The artificial lagoon holds the second Guinness World Record for the multinational innovation recognized as the largest crystalline lagoon in the world, surpassing even the iconic San Alfonso del Mar in Chile.
Citystars Sharm El Sheikh, surrounded by mountains and offering spectacular views of the Red Sea, Tiran Island, and a nature reserve, is the result of an association between Crystal Lagoons and the Sharbatly family, one of the oldest and most prominent families in the Middle East and Africa. This development has successfully transformed vast desert expanses into a paradise destination, significantly increasing the area’s real estate value.
Crystal Lagoons® technology has achieved what was once considered impossible: the construction of artificial lagoons of unlimited size anywhere in the world, even in the middle of the desert. Today, this innovation brings the idyllic beach experience to unimaginable places, gaining worldwide recognition for its transformative impact.
