What about Dubai? Some facts....

Dubai in 1990 prior to the craziness


The same street in 2003!


Last year!!

The madness. Dubai is said to currently have 15-25% of all the world's cranes.

The Palm Islands in Dubai. New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands. They are the largest artificial islands in the world and can be seen from space. Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all. All of this was built in the last 5 years, including that island that looks like a palm tree. Upon completion, the resort will have 2,000 villas, 40 luxury hotels, shopping centers, movie theaters, and many other facilities. It is expected to support a population of approximately 500,000 people. It is advertised as being visible from the moon.

The World Islands. 300 artificially created islands in the shape of the world. Each island will have an estimated cost of $25-30 million.
Wow! Canggihkan?
