A jaw-dropping project that will transform a former oil rig in the Arabian Gulf into a theme park resort is now seeking billions of dollars worth of tenders, according to new reports.
The Rig was announced in October 2021 and is being funded by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). The new attraction will feature three hotels with a combined 800 bedrooms, 11 restaurants and several helipads, as well as a host of attractions including a rollercoaster, bungee jumping, go-karting, a waterpark, a Ferris wheel, zip-lining, actual sky diving and even submarines.
Oil Park Development Company (OPDC), a subsidiary of the PIF, has reportedly sought requests for proposals (RFP) from global oil and gas contractors for the mammoth offshore tourism project.
According to Energy Vice, the total work on offer would reach more than US$5bn, with the PIF commissioning within a 27-30 month period.
