This isn't a Fata Morgana.

The Oasis Eco Resort is a proposed development in the Liwa region of the United Arab Emirates, just south of the capital of Abu Dhabi. Slated to open in 2020, the resort was designed by London-based Baharash Architecture.

Despite being in a desert, it will be one of the greenest resorts in the world. Sustainable features will include wastewater recycling, a zero-emission zone, and enough solar panels to feed the entirety of the resort's energy needs. While construction is scheduled to begin in 2018, Baharash has shared several renderings.

They look incredible.
