Did you hear about Saudi Arabia's ambitious plan to construct a massive city floating on water, with a budget exceeding Rs 60 thousand crores? Furthermore, there's a project underway to build a city spanning a 170-kilometer-long linear path in the country, aptly named "The Line." Additionally, Saudi Arabia has embarked on the construction of a skyscraper surpassing the towering heights of the Burj Khalifa.
What drives Saudi Arabia's investment in such grand ventures, you might wonder? Presently, the nation's primary revenue source stems from oil sales. However, cognizant of the finite nature of this resource, the Saudi government aspires to emulate Dubai's success. Hence, instead of merely floating a large vessel on water, they are shaping an entire metropolis, valued at Rs 60,000 crore, dubbed Pangeos—a colossal city resembling a majestic turtle, destined to traverse the seas perpetually.
In a nod to ancient history, Pangeos derives its name from the colossal landmass known as Pangea (supercontinent), a geological marvel that once dominated the Earth's surface during the Mesozoic era, stretching across 200 million to 335 million years in the past.

Stretching out to a length of 1,800 feet, with its widest point spanning 2,000 feet in the form of expansive wings, the floating city boasts an impressive design. Housing 19 villas and 64 apartments on each of its turtle-like wings, Pangeos promises luxurious living spaces amidst its innovative architecture. But that's not all; the city will also feature amenities such as a rooftop garden, a mall, and an exclusive beach club. Adding to its allure is the 'Terashipyard' infrastructure, a vast area measuring 650 meters wide and 600 meters long, offering direct access to the sea for unparalleled convenience.
This impressive yacht, fashioned in the shape of a majestic turtle, is anticipated to gracefully cruise at a top speed of 5 knots (equivalent to 5.7 mph or 9.2 kph), embodying both elegance and efficiency on the open waters.
