Posted by Robin


Dubai in 1990




The same street in 2003




Last year (2006)




Dubai is said currently have 15-25% of all world’s cranes




The Dubai Waterfront. When completed it will become the largest waterfront development in the world




All of this as built in the last 5 years, including that island that looks like a palm tree




The Palm Islands in Dubai. New Dutch dredging technology was used to create there massive man-made island. They are the largest artificial island in the world and can be seen from space. Three at these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all.




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.




The Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai. The world’s tallest hotel. Considered the only '7 star' hotel and the most luxurious hotel in the world. It stands on an artificial island in the sea.




Hydro polis is the world's first underwater hotel. Entirely built in Germany and then assembled in Dubai, it is scheduled to be completed by 2009 after many delays.




The Burj Dubai. Construction began in 2005 and is expected to be complete by 2008. At an estimated height of over 800 meters, it will easily be world's tallest building when finished. It will be almost 40% taller than the the current tallest building, the Taipei 101.




This is what downtown Dubai will look like around 2008-2009. More than 140 stories of the Burj Dubai have already been completed. It is already the world’s tallest man made structure and it is still not scheduled to be completed for at least another year.




The Al Burj. This will be the centerpiece of the Dubai Waterfront. Once is completed it will take over the title of the tallest structure in the world from the Burj Dubai.




Recently it was announced that the final height of this tower will be 1200 meters. That would make it more than 30% taller than the Burj Dubai and three times as tall as the Empire State Building.




The Trump International Hotel & Tower, which will be the centerpiece of one of the palm islands, The Palm Jumeirah.





Dubailand. Currently, the largest amusement park collection in the world is Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, which is also the largest single-site employer in the United states with 58,000 employees. Dubailand will be twice the size.




Dubailand will be built on 3 billion square feet (107 miles^2) at an estimated $20 billion price tag. The site will include a purported 45 mega projects and 200 hundred other smaller projects.






Dubai Sports City. A huge collection of sports arenas located in Dubailand.




The Dubai Marina is an entirely man made development that will contain over 200 highrise buildings when finished. It will be home to some of the tallest residential structures in the world. The completed first phase of the project is shown. Most of the other high rise buildings will be finished by 2009-2010.




The Dubai Mall will be the largest shopping mall in the world with over 9 million square feet of shopping and around 1000 stores. It will be completed in 2008.




Some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as Ocean Heights and The Princess Tower, which will be the largest residential building in the world at over a 100 stories, will line the Dubai Marina.




Ski Dubai, which is already open, is the largest indoor skiing facility in the world. This is a rendered image of another future indoor skiing facility that is being planned.




UAE Spaceport would be the first spaceport in the world if construction ever gets under way.



Gosh...I am gonna visit Dubai!!!

    Dubai... the city where it's men in white and women in black, where Thursdays and Fridays are the weekends, where the poor people are imported, and where it's home to the world's largest indoor ski slope and the one and only 7-star hotel. Above all though, Dubai is the city of construction.So many fantastic projects are rising day by day, people from all over the world are interested in investing in Dubai property.
    Government and UAE's people really aim at high successes.

    Good day, sun shines!
    There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
    I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
    Now, I feel good, I started to get real money.
    It's all about how to choose a proper companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

    You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
