Real Estate Development in Dubai (photo collection)
September 26, 2007 | Desinotes

There was a lot of interest in the “World’s Tallest Building” story on September 18th. If you were interested in that one you might want to see Vinay Kumar’s photo collection on real estate development in Dubai. Included are images of the Burj Al Arab hotel, Burj Dubai (world’s tallest building), The Palms Projects (world’s largest artificial islands), and “The World” project (artificial islands shaped like a world map).

At right is a NASA Earth Observatory image of one of “The Palms” projects and “The World” site during construction. NASA Images at Earth Observatory
