I knew Dubai was going to make the tallest skyscraper in the world. But, I didn’t realize that they had so many construction projects going on. It’s incredible how much they have done and are doing.
– Dubai Waterfront – Largest waterfront
– Burg Al Arab – Tallest hotel in the world
– Burj Dubai – Tallest tower in the world
– The Palm – Largest manmade islands
– The World – A collection of islands patterned after the world continents
– Dubai Mall – Largest shopping mall
– Dubailand – Huge entertainment destination
– First rotating skyscraper
Their goal is to be one of the top tourist sites in the world. And I think they’ll easily achieve that.
In the US, I don’t know of anyplace trying to do a single thing similar to any of these massive projects. And here is one single country doing all of these. Amazing.
