They will be surrounded by vast open green spaces and situated on the shores of Azizi's 2.7-kilometre-long swimmable crystal lagoon, spanning over 130,026 square metres and stretching across the entirety of the community. With stunning blue flooring, filled with more than 51.5 million gallons of crystal-clear, desalinated, and clean water that residents can swim in, and easily accessible via its lagoon walk — which will also feature a vast variety of artisan eateries and boutiques — Azizi's lagoon will be a bustling space where residents can enjoy strolls along the beach-like shores, sunbathe and cool off.
