The World - Dubai
Through the vision of H.H General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defense Minister, Nakheel is
creating the most exclusive property development ever, The World.With
The Palm, Nakheel puts Dubai on The Map. Now with The World, Nakheel
puts the map on Dubai. The World consists of over 300 man made islands
strategically positioned to form the shape of the world map, lying 4km
off the coast of Dubai. The World will be the most exclusive and sought
after community offering the most exciting residential and leisure
opportunities in the fastest growing tourist destination on the planet.
This is the ultimate destination where the only limit is your
imagination.
Almost two years of extensive planning, research
development and design took place before The World was announced to an
astonished real estate industry. Measuring approximately 9 km in width
by 7 km in length, the development will cover approximately 9,340,000
square meters, will be visible to the naked eye from space and will add
an additional 232 kilometers of beachfront to Dubai’s coastline. For
The World to take shape, Nakheel is moving over 326 million cubic
meters of sand to form the islands as well as building a 26 kilometer
long oval shape breakwater.This is arguably the most exciting,
innovative and visually stimulating real estate development ever. In a
land of modern city and timeless desert, old world charm and new world
comfort, where East meets West in a kaleidoscope of contrasts, and
villas and hotels sit on Palm trees stretching out into the Gulf, we
are witnessing the birth of a new wonder – The World. An engineering
marvel not seen since Venice, The World will never be replicated again.
