Dubai – An Artificial Heaven

The Palm Islands are artificial islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on which major commercial and residential infrastructure will be constructed. The islands are the largest land reclamation projects in the world and will result in the world’s largest artificial islands.

    I totaly agree with Flo.
    This has no charm and is just an abyme for money. Those houses, built on concreet and fake are worth millions for nothing.
    If i had to choose, i’ll take a nice greek house, in the middle of the valleys.
    Dubai is a paradise for all the billionaires who have no taste at all or like to show off only.

    I LIKE DUBAI BUT I DISLIKE THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE MORE ABSTRUSE CONSTRUCTIONS LIKE THIS THAN SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS. AND THAT’S NOT FAIR FOR THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE.

    It makes me remember of the song “Little Boxes”, from Malvina Reynolds.

    If you had that much money too buy a place like that….. would you buy there?
    We are all different, and shouldn’t mock people who have no class!

    Unique, beautiful, but not a place I would like to live (assuming I could afford to}. But what part of global warming and tsunami don’t they understand? Dubai appears destined to become “bye-bye.”
