Dubai in 1990


The same street in
2003

Last
year

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


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

All of this was 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 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.

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 worlds 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.

Hydropolis, the world's first underwater hotel.
Entirely built in Germany and then assembled inDubai, 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 Yaipei
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 worlds 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 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.This is a city on
crack.


The Burj al Alam, or The World
Tower. Upon completion it will rank as the world's highest hotel. It is expected
to be finished by 2009. At 480 meters it will only be 28 meters shorter t han
theTaipei 101.



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 twi ce 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.

DubaiSports City. A huge collection of sports arenas
located in Dubailand.


Currently, the Walt Disney World Resort is the #1 tourist
destination in the world. Once fully completed, Dubailand will easily take over
that title since it is expected to attract 200,000 visitors
daily.


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 pr oject 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.



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.





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 DubaiMarina.
The
UAE Spaceport would be the first spaceport in the world if construction ever
gets under way. I'm not joking...
Some
other crazy .. The Dubai Metro system, once completed, will become the largest
fully automated rail system in the world. The Dubai World Central International
Airport will become the largest airport in size when it is completed. It will
also eventually become the busiest airport in the world, based on passenger
volume. There are more construction workers in Dubai than there are actual
citizens.

there was a picture >>> where is it ?

thank you all
