FAQs

Dubai is the unofficial capital of the world of great architecture; be it towering commercial buildings, luxury resorts or multi-storeyed hotels and condominiums, there is no dearth of awe-striking buildings in Dubai. The hot, desert-like climate and terrain in Dubai is offset rather pleasantly by some of the world’s coolest constructions!

The Cloud

The Cloud Resort in Dubai resembles a cloud floating 300 meters above the ground, with slanting support beams that look like sheets of rain. A cloud if often construed as a place or an element where extreme imagination manifests itself. The Resort named after this very element is one of a series of Gulf region projects created by Nadim Karam - a Lebanese architect. It is a horizontal structure on an elevated platform - an antithesis to the sum of skyscrapers spread over the region. The Cloud appears to be a combination of a skyscraper and an island.

                        

The Cloud isn’t just about beauty, imagination and luxury. Standing in the air, covering 20000m2 of landscape-in-the-sky, The Cloud comprises a lake, gardens, rotating bridges, spiralling walkways and terraces, an auditorium and sky-sports platform. The Cloud is approached on ground level from an esplanade with a pool reflecting a forest of inclined columns, and reaching up to the huge, translucent floating island. Access to the Cloud is gained through a few non-inclined tubular shafts, which double up as structural support.
