Photos: This expensive toilet cost over Dh472,000 to be built 

The toilet uses only 10 per cent water than regular toilets.

Next time you visit the iconic 3.7km-long Marina Drive promenade, don't forget to take a stop to marvel at the plush toilet.
This week, a new toilet was opened on Marina Drive in South Mumbai which cost a whopping Rs 94 lakh (approximately Dh 472,500) to be built. 
The facility uses solar energy to generate power and used vacuum technology, which reduces the water consumption by 90 per cent. It uses only 0.8 liters per flush, compared to 7 to 8 liters used in regular toilets, according to Indian Express.
