After Underwater Hotels, It Is Underwater Mosque Now.
The construction innovations are nowadays not just about scaling heights by constructing buildings trying to break new records. Early this month Dubai announced that it is going to construct some underwater hotels and it was well received from the industry. Dubai has announced the construction of #-Link-Snipped-# where luxury rooms are immersed underwater. Now here is the first underwater mosque in history which has been completed by some Saudi Arabian divers.
