In just as fascinating news, Abu Dhabi will also host the company’s most ambitious global facility – and if you thought that only included a take-off and landing facility, here’s yet another curveball: it will also include an impressive hotel complex on the emirate’s own island of thrills, Yas Island.
EOS-X SPACE estimates it can begin operating space flights out of Abu Dhabi in Q3 of 2025. With each of their pressurised space capsules capable of accommodating up to 8 adventurous passengers (including a pilot), you’ll be lifted up into space ever so gently in an eco-friendly helium balloon.
If you’re a 3D/IMAX connoisseur, try this: these capsules will take you to the edge of the stratosphere at a lofty altitude of 40,000 metres, having you enjoying breathtaking views of space, the blue halo, and earth’s own curvature during a life-changing five-hour trip.
In terms of preparations, you won’t need to worry too much – when you buy a seat on one of these capsules, your package includes a week-long programme featuring cultural, gastronomic, regenerative medicine and wellness experiences.
What is being described as an ultra-luxury experience, will be the intersection of human curiosity and space tourism – with all of this costing you between only Dhs600,000 and Dhs800,000.
