The robot will commence its operations at the Red Sea destination, helping to preserve the natural beauty of this world-class location and its breathtaking resorts. This achievement exemplifies Red Sea Global’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the beaches for visitors while promoting a harmonious balance between luxurious travel experiences and sustainable environmental practices.
The Red Sea destination welcomed its first visitors in 2023, coinciding with the inauguration of two hotels. Since September, the Red Sea International Airport, the primary gateway to this incredible destination, has been receiving regular flights.
By its grand inauguration in 2030, the Red Sea megaproject will host an impressive collection of 50 resorts, encompassing a total of 8,000 hotel units and over 1,000 residential units spread across 22 islands and six mainland sites. In addition to these accommodations, the destination will feature luxurious marinas, top-notch golf courses, and entertainment and recreational facilities.

Lava from a Hawaii volcano shot into the sky Tuesday in tall fountains that were expected to grow even bigger as part of an off-and-on eruption.

The eruption began Dec. 23 in a crater at the summit of Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big island.

Tuesday was the eruption's 12th episode. What began in the morning with sporadic, small flows became continuous fountaining in the afternoon, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said. They reached 150 to 165 feet (45 to 60 meters) and were expected to grow.

A webcam showed a vigorous fountain of bright red lava.

No residential areas have been threatened by the eruption. People have been flocking to overlook sites inside the park for views of the fiery show.

The length of time for each fountaining episode has varied from several hours to several days. Episodes have been separated by pauses lasting from less than 24 hours to 12 days, according to the observatory.
