The Infamous DXB series - pt 3 of 3 - The Palm - #173

The Infamous DXB series - pt 2 of 3 - The World - #172


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.
