Here is precisely where the Red Sea Astrarium theme park would have gone. Never gonna happen.

This is what happened on the location: a residential real estate development called Eagle Hills, part of the bigger Marsa Zayed:

Red Sea Astrarium in Aqaba is never going to happen. I'll post some recent pictures of the site.

Where is the funding for this project supposed to come from anyway?

Work on this park has been commencing twice, and twice discontinued. Projects with that kind of track record in this industry rarely ever see the opening day.

Anything on this?

This is really sad! I was thinking of visiting Jordan when I heard that the King was having a Star Trek theme park constructed.

Feature on Red Sea Astrarium:

Jordan’s King Abdullah, though not an investor, has taken a personal interest in the company’s biggest project, a $1 billion theme park called the Red Sea Astrarium that was to be built in the coastal town of Aqaba. Announced in 2011 for a 2014 opening.... The theme park was to feature high-tech rides in which visitors would sail above the Seven Wonders of the World.

However, some bad news.

Tourism plummeted, and plans to build the family-friendly theme park have been postponed.
