Quotes by J.R. Roth (?)

“luxury underwater resort, Hydropolis. Shaped like a giant jellyfish, the Hydropolis would consist of two hundred luxury suites submerged sixty-six metres under the sea, offering spectacular views of the ocean bed and passing mermaids! This one-of-a-kind”
― J.R. Roth, Sheikhs, Lies and Real Estate: The Untold Story of Dubai
