The pictures below of Dubai are unbelievable. Some of this you may know about…but I’m not sure how well this has been publicized.
Dubai in 1990 prior to the craziness
The same street in 2003

The Palm Islands in Dubai. New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands. They are the largest artificial islands in the world and can be seen from space. Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all.
Hydropolis, the world’s first underwater hotel. Entirely built in Germany and then assembled in Dubai, it is scheduled to be completed by 2009 after many delays.
There are also many other examples of amazing architecture coming to Dubai. It’s amazing to see, yet despressing at the same time.
