Did you know that they've got a ski slope in Dubai? You can see it on the road from Abu Dhabi.
Visit one of the hottest holiday destinations for a ski-trip.
From what I've seen of this man-made island, I hope the gulf isn't prone to storm surges at high tide.
Vanity Fair--I'm trying to remember which issue, it was within the past few months--has quite the article on Dubai, featuring, among other things, the man-made island pictured here. Worth reading.
Btw, they are building "The World" in Dubai--islands that are shaped liked different countries / continents. Rod Stewart has bought one . . . can't remember which. Oh, there's no Israel in that world, so don't ask for it . . . .
Ooo ooo! I want to buy Brunei!
I've always wanted to be a Sultan.
Wow that is really cool looking. I wonder if they'll have bridges connecting all the islands though? The other question I have is, why? Why build an island? Why not just build your city on the coast?
In any case, I think I'll buy Australia; it's both a continent and a country for the price of one!!! What a deal!!! :lol:
But you don't get to be a sultan.
This is unbelievable, I've never seen development like this. It would be an interesting place to visit.
Wonder if they do timeshares? Not that I would have the kind of money to rent one of those spreads. Waaay too rich for my blood!
While their fellow Muslims starve around the world, they are building hotels with solid gold bathroom fixtures and palm-shaped islands. The tires on their cars are rimmed in gold. They look for ways to spend money, they have so much of it. It's disgusting.
Yes, Muslims are "fascinating" when they are spending money, but not when trying to kill everyone.
I just came back from Dubai in September of last year. It was one of our port visits on our Naval deployment. Dubai has the worlds only 7 star hotel as well as plans to build the tallest building in the world.
