The Story: During the construction of the resort, a complex series of passages was uncovered, thought to have been buried thousands of years ago by the waters of the Arabian Gulf. Upon further investigation, an ancient street system was discovered and the theory came into being that these were in fact remains from the Lost City of Atlantis.
Such an exciting discovery has raised many questions about Atlantean civilisation and culture, some of which will never be answered. However, it seems that this network of streets has revealed artefacts from a very civilised people who possessed an incredible level of technology. The Lost Chambers give a valuable insight into the Atlantean history and function attached to each room, as well as information about the marine life now living there. Our map takes you through a gateway into a magnificent underwater realm where you can ask our guides for any further information about Atlantis and its inhabitants.
