Dubai Mega-Projects

Dubai has become one big mega-project. The tallest building of the world, the first underwater hotel, artificial islands in the shape of date palms and the world, a whole new business district, the largest man-made marina, etc. etc.

The dream of Dubai is to become the Arab center of the modern world.
