The final iconic infamous addition to any city... The Palm. A man made expanse of real estate meets beach. An ecological nightmare? A financial boon? A shimering white elephant? All is yet to be seen.
The one thing I can say is it looks like nothing else I've ever seen...
The World islands that are being constructed just off the coast of Dubai.
The big question is not if they will sell, more will they actually be usable... you buy the island for approx 5 to 10 US$million. That's it. You have to build your house, install water and electricity (which no one is willing to supply!) and then you have to work out where to park your boat and car on the mainland...
You can see the Burj Al Arab luxury hotel towards the top right on the coast.
