In The Sinai Desert, The Citystars Sharm El Sheikh Complex Houses One Of The Largest Pools In The World, With 740 Meters And Crystal Lagoons Technology
In the east of Egypt, within the Citystars Sharm El Sheikh complex, an artificial lagoon impresses with its size and technology. Located in the Sinai Desert, it measures 740 meters in length and occupies an area equivalent to 24 football fields, establishing itself among the largest pools in the world.
The project integrates a planned community that combines residences, hotels, golf courses, and leisure spaces.
There are 300 million liters of water pumped from underground saline aquifers, a process completed in just 22 days. This was possible because the filling system uses high-capacity pumps.

World Record And Exclusivity
Since 2015, the lagoon has held the Guinness World Record, surpassing Chile’s San Alfonso del Mar. This achievement has transformed Citystars Sharm El Sheikh into a global symbol of engineering and tourism innovation.
The area is surrounded by a six-meter wall and protected by a second perimeter, redesigned after incidents in the region of the former airport.
Additionally, the project uses technology patented by Crystal Lagoons, which maintains the water’s transparency even in arid environments, with low consumption and easy maintenance.
An Oasis Of Luxury And Technology
With 11.29 hectares — the equivalent of more than 11 Olympic-sized pools — the lagoon serves as the central point of the complex, exclusive to residents and guests.
Citystars Sharm El Sheikh is valued at over 4.9 billion euros and comprises 30,000 residential units, marinas, museums, hotels, shopping centers, and audiovisual attractions.
Thus, the development redefines the concept of luxury and sustainability in the heart of the Egyptian desert.
The Grandiosity Of One Of The Most Famous Places In Egypt
The grandiosity of the artificial lagoon is further highlighted by its location in Sharm El Sheikh, one of the most famous tourist destinations in Egypt.
Located on the Sinai Peninsula, the city is known for its turquoise-blue waters, desert climate, and luxurious infrastructure aimed at international tourism.
The contrast between the arid desert and the crystal-clear water of the lagoon creates a landscape that seems straight out of a cinematic setting.
With beaches on the Red Sea and coral reefs that attract divers from around the world, Sharm El Sheikh combines lush nature with modern engineering marvels.
Citystars was designed to take advantage of this potential, transforming the area into a strategic point for high-end leisure and real estate investments.
The Technology That Keeps The Water Crystal Clear
The maintenance of the lagoon is a spectacle by itself. Crystal Lagoons has developed a patented system capable of preserving the blue color and purity of the water with minimal energy and chemical use.
This is possible because smart sensors continuously monitor water quality, activating treatment only when necessary.
This technology proves essential in an environment like the Sinai Desert, where intense heat and water scarcity could compromise the functioning of a structure of this magnitude.
The sustainable solution reinforces the project’s commitment to efficiency and the preservation of natural resources.
Luxury, Leisure, And Integration With The Desert
In addition to its beauty and innovation, the complex stands out for its urban planning. The area around the lagoon consists of resorts, marinas, golf courses, and luxury residential areas.
The shores are lined with white sand and landscaped areas that mimic the appearance of a tropical beach, but in the middle of the desert.
During the day, the reflection of the sun on the blue surface of the lagoon creates a natural spectacle that extends for hundreds of meters.
At night, the scenic lighting transforms the space into an attraction for visitors and residents.
Thus, Citystars Sharm El Sheikh is not just a monumental work, but also a symbol of human capacity to create beauty and comfort amid the planet’s most challenging landscapes.
