"As a part of his commitment to transform Dubai into one of the world's premiere travel destinations, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum conceives of man-made islandes comprised of homes, resorts, hotels and amenities." That's right, the United Arab Emirates is building "The Eighth Wonder of the World" - man-made islands in the ocean laid out in the pattern of several huge date palm trees. The "trees" will be visible from space with the naked eye. Why? A playground for the rich, to remind its neighboring countries why they hate the west, etc. |
