The world in miniature. Dubai

Dubai is a city of greatness and wealth. This city is famous all over the world for its unique buildings and sights. You wanted to tell about a group of artificial islands, which by their appearance resemble the continents of our planet, for which they got the name "The World". Each individual island in this group resembles a country, and all the islands are for sale.

First of all, we would like to say that the city of Dubai is rich in unique architecture and islands. However, the most outstanding is the project "The World", or as it is also called - the World Islands. I will not retell the history of the city, I will only say that Dubai began to actively develop after the discovery of oil sources, and after the construction of the famous hotel Burj Al Arab, which has the seventh category, the city and even became a highlight of tourists. Initially, the creation of artificial islands was an idea to increase the beaches, as the coastline was all over with new constructions. Thus, the idea of creating seven continents of our planet in the form of islands soon emerged. Then all the continents were divided into smaller fragments, countries, in order to avoid the enormous cost of a single island. Investors could buy many "countries," such as: China, Germany, France, Ethiopia, or even virtually any state in the United States. On purchased islands, the owners could set their own rules (naturally within the UAE laws) and turn their island countries into separate parks or nature reserves, golf clubs or hunting grounds, personal islands or public hotels.

Building islands is not an easy thing to do. It took a lot of resources and effort to turn an idea into reality. All the sand was extracted from the seabed and then sprayed on the proposed construction site. The problem with the waves and the erosion of the islands was solved fairly quickly: engineers took the nearby Palm Islands wave breaker and enlarged it to the required scale. Thus, the World Islands got a kind of edging in the form of current protection.

The world in miniature. Dubai A characteristic fact of the project is that it is impossible to get there by land transport. There are no bridges or any other connections between the islands. You can get to the islands only by sea or by air. On a side note: the delivery of building materials also carried by sea on ships. As for the environment, the UAE authorities are very interested in the environmental sphere of the existence of its people, and therefore often listen to the advice of environmentalists. Thus, artificial reefs have been built for the comfortable habitation of marine fauna, as well as centers for desalination and purification of water reserves, which are located in the central part of the project "The World". At this point, the islands have been purchased by many famous people as well as corporations. If you consider the fact that it is quite difficult to buy an island by yourself, because the company Nakheel sends special invitations to buy one of the islands, and it is about 50 offers a year; then, for sure, the number of those wishing to buy a "piece of the World" is indescribably large.
