It’s hard to find a way to introduce Tower Unite’s largest indoor water park resort, other than to start by saying it’s my largest construction to date (item-wise).
The concept is simple: a huge glass pyramid containing an entire water park with slides, activities, and pools.
Well, just like the real pyramids, today I present to you an imposing and imperial building:
Crystal Cairo Indoor Water Park Resort
featured image:
A park so big that I need to take you on a tour with me. Follow me! My steam profile is [Steam Community :: TheGreenKing ] and this is Crystal Cairo 2026 !
What you see in the photo is 25,324 items worth of water park.
The park is inspired by real indoor water parks to be realistic, but follows an innovative design of my own to transport guests into an Egyptian yet modern setting.
…but we need to proceed in order.
1) Entrance square
Guests arrive in the parking lot and can see firsthand the imposing building they’ve seen in TV commercials.
The light wooden slats positioned in a wave-like pattern are reminiscent of sand dunes, the tiled path is reminiscent of typical rocks (also following a sinuous pattern like snakes) and the backlit obelisks offer points of light at night in a completely new way.
A small fountain and several palm trees welcome new arrivals.
2) Entrance hall
The entrance to the park is under a glass canopy that follows the slope of the pyramid.
Upon entering, the first thing you notice is the slide tower, the highest part of the park. The dark wooden slats hide the tower’s interior from outsiders, but they allow natural light to enter the tower itself (where the various slides are located).
Guests are immediately taken to the second floor via an escalator, passing between two indoor fountains. On the second floor, tickets can be purchased at a spacious, open-plan ticket booth. From this floor, you can see most of the park from above, and looking up, you can see several slides passing overhead.
Once you have purchased your ticket, or if you have an annual pass, you can enter the park through the automatic turnstiles.
3) Changing rooms
All guests inside the park must be in their swimsuit and must have placed all their personal items in lockers.
To simplify this process, here at Crystal Cairo we have a clever electronic system that checks which dressing rooms are free and which are occupied, so you can sit at the front of the aisle instead of constantly walking back and forth looking for an open door.
To further speed up the process, a total of 32 dressing rooms are available (divided into two colors to show that they are different rooms, but I do not intend to link them to genders).
Descending the temple stairs, you’ll reach an area with several electronic lockers, each with a similar light system to indicate their availability. After leaving your belongings safely away, it’s finally time to head through the pool showers and enter the park!
3) Restaurants and shops
Right under the changing rooms, in the Temple of Taste, you can eat a good meal or buy a… good product i guess
Sobek Grill
Sobek Grill is a fast-food restaurant that’s always open, and also serves as a snack bar! Try our Shish Taouk, our skewers, or, if you’re the boring one in the group, a simple burger. And don’t forget the ice cream!
The Token Tomb
A day at the water park isn’t complete without a visit to the arcade! We have a variety of arcade games perfect for challenging friends.
The Nile Bounty
For a more complete meal, you must try The Nile Bounty, our self-service restaurant! Starters and main courses from various world cuisines, a whole display of salads and desserts, and an incredible station for creating your own sundae with sprinkles and canned fruit. Just grab a tray, follow the path, and enjoy!
Scarab Bazaar
At Scarab Bazaar you’ll find everything you need for a perfect day at the pool, from inflatables to swimsuits.
There are also surfboards if you want, but you can’t use them in the park, which makes me wonder why I put them there. Oh right, they are props.
4) The slide tower
Now it’s time to try out all the park’s slides! There are 12 slides (8 main ones + 4 in the playground) to discover, for all ages and thrills.
Access is from this and also from a secondary staircase. On the first floor of the tower guests can see a map of the attractions:
While Osiris and Amethyst are on the same floor, you need to climb the stairs to reach the other 3 floors of the tower.
First Floor
Osiris & Amethyst
Two small slides perfect for little daredevils who are still too short for the other slides but too bored with the spray park.
Second Floor
Both slides on this level are larger in diameter because they require a two-seater raft to go down.
Isis Vortex
A faithful 1:1 scale reproduction of the typical Bowl Slide you’d find at your local water park. Extremely difficult to recreate due to its very curved design, but I think I did a good job.
Cobra’s Curse
A boomerang slide themed like a large cobra, guests slide to the top of this curved wall and are pulled back by gravity, escaping the great serpent’s jaws and ending up in a secondary tunnel.
Third Floor
Nile Rapids & Sekhmet’s Fury
Two slides that intertwine several times; Nile Rapids features several clear tube sections, while Sekhmet’s Fury focuses on speed.
For space reasons, Nile Rapids crosses the slide tower itself several times, using the central pylon that supports the pyramid as a supporting column for the internal sections.
Anubis Death
Anubis Death is the park’s black hole slide; it focuses on a disorienting ride in complete darkness with continuous sudden changes of direction.
Fourth Floor
Horus Strike
Horus Strike is the most intense slide in the park, and an entire floor is dedicated to it due to its importance, right at the top of the pyramid. As I’ll repeat below, this floor is approximately 88 meters above the ground (288,714 feet), making it also the tallest slide in the world (IRL the tallest slide currently stands at 76.35 meters, or 250 feet 4 inches, located in Qatar).
The descent takes place via a trapdoor (btw it works via I/O, if you crouch during the descent) and ends directly inside the Temple of Taste where all the park’s shops are located.
Accompanying persons can stay on the fourth floor without entering the queue, remaining in the waiting room where a large screen shows the arrival runway of Horus Strike, located at the Temple of Taste: This way you can see the faces of those sliding down in real time!
The top of the pyramid features a black glass decoration to protect guests in line from the sun’s rays.
5) It’s not just about slides
We focused so much on the park’s slides that we ended up neglecting the park itself! But even the pools at Crystal Cairo are unique in their own way. The park has five pools dedicated to different age groups and uses, starting with the grandest:
6) The Valley of the Waves
Clearly inspired by the Valley of the Kings, Crystal Cairo’s wave pool features a stunning piece of theming with four enormous statues of Egyptian gods.
At 40 meters wide and with a sandy bottom, The Valley of the Waves is a luxurious pool only found in parks of the right caliber. A monument to the Egyptian gods serves as a stage for entertainment, and a large beach with 87 umbrellas (174 loungers) allows all guests to fully enjoy their day. Thanks to the enormous glass enclosure that protects this part of the park, you can enjoy a real beach even on rainy days, even in the heart of the city. The pool’s waves offer a fun alternative to the slides, while your dedicated umbrella allows you to relax.
7) Oasis
Oasis is the pool dedicated to relaxation, far from the frenetic slides but close enough to the areas dedicated to children to always have an eye on them.
Relax in one of the four spacious hot tubs or swim through the views and passages of this quintessential relaxation oasis, all under the shade of a large, luminous tree. Real tropical plants and perfect temperatures await you between attractions.
8) Pyramid Spray Park
The little ones will have a blast at our spray park, with water cannons, fun courses, and the unforgettable giant water bucket.
The Pyramids Spray Park is divided into two areas to ensure everyone has fun: one area features a large castle with courses, climbs, and slides, water cannons, and plenty of space to run around, while the second area is more specifically for the little ones, featuring friendly animals and characters, as well as the ever-present red mushroom thinghy.
A section of the wave pool beach extends this way, providing a strategic location for families with children right in front of their favorite pool.
9) Pharaoh’s Challenge
For those who are starting to get older and want something more, here comes Pharaoh’s Challenge.
This pool is 100% dedicated to fun, action-packed activities featuring floating bases (only some are actually anchored to the ground, while others are attached with a cable and will sink beneath your feet!), large rotating rollers, suspended courses over the water, and an incredible basketball station to challenge your friends.
10) Olympic swimming pool
If you’re a professional swimmer, if you swim as a sport, or if you’re doing water rehabilitation, then you can’t miss it!
Here at Crystal Cairo, you’ll also find a full Olympic-size pool, measuring a full 50 meters in length and featuring 2.5-meter-wide lanes. While a half-size version is typically installed, here you’ll find the real deal, plus you can take advantage of swimming lessons Monday through Wednesday with our experts if you have an annual pass.
The proximity to the entrance allows you to do your weekly exercise without being disturbed by the buzz of the water park, and the large triple ceiling screen also allows you to follow your favorite game during breaks.
Final Overview
I was amazed when I counted how many pieces I used for this park, and I wanted to briefly share them with you.
Total of 25.324 items
of which
13,701 Canvas walls
5,601 Canvas cylinders
645 Canvas tubes
600 Canvas toruses
350 Canvas wedges
251 Canvas cubes
211 Canvas pyramids
…Only 7 workshop models (repeated multiple times)
All the slides are made entirely of canvas, bending the pieces together a few degrees at a time to create the curves. Yep…
The building is 88 meters (288,714 feet) tall at its highest point (the pyramid, duh), thus also featuring the tallest slide in the world (Horus Strike).
12 slides (8 main + 4) and 5 pools, not including the landing pools.
It probably won’t be a lot for some of you, but for me it’s a lot considering my previous largest build had about 15,000 pieces total.
I’ll end this long post by giving you a link to visit the park yourself (89MB download)
and to say that I absolutely love this game.
Now that I’ve finished this side project, I can get back to working on KingsLand Amusement Park
Thanks for the support!
