Through its official account on Twitter, RSG published several photos showing a marine tanker carrying the first batch of Shebara island villas. The handover coincided with the new year celebrations.

The CEO of RSG John Pagano revealed last August the progress of work in manufacturing the polished steel bodies for the Shebara island villas. He indicated that the villas were close to being fully equipped by the company that manufactured them in the UAE.

Pagano noted that the floating villas will be inaugurated within the first phase of the project.

The Shebara island villas are distinguished by being rich in coral reefs and extends for a length of 40 meters near the shore.

The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC) announced a major shift last October, when it rebranded itself as Red Sea Global (RSG).

RSG is considered the developer behind two of the world’s most ambitious regenerative tourism projects on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coastline. The two luxury tourism destinations are THE RED SEA and AMAALA.
