The expansive park is expected to feature a luxurious five-star leisure resort hotel with 160 rooms and 20 independent presidential villas, a 5,000-capacity international conference and exhibition center, and a sprawling 160,000-square-meter water park. Additionally, it will include 500 high-end golf villas, an artificial beach, waterfront restaurants, and sightseeing yachts.
