This is what downtown Dubai will look like around 2008-2009. More than 140 stories of the Burj Dubai have already been completed.
The Al Burj.
This will be the centerpiece of the Dubai Waterfront.
Once completed it will take over the title of the tallest structure in the world from the Burj Dubai.
Recently it was announced that the final height of this tower will be 1200 meters.
That would make it more than 30% taller than the Burj Dubai and three times as tall as the Empire State Building.
The Trump International Hotel & Tower, which will be the centerpiece of one of the palm islands.
Dubailand will be built on 3 billion square feet (107 miles^2) at an estimated $20 billion price tag.
Currently, the largest amusement park collection in the world is Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, which is also the largest single-site employer in the United states with 58,000 employees.
Dubailand will be twice the size.
Currently, the Walt Disney World Resort is the #1 tourist destination in the world. Once fully completed, Dubailand will easily take over that title since it is expected to attract 200,000 visitors daily.
Dubai Sports City. A huge collection of sports arenas located in Dubailand.
The Dubai Marina is an entirely man madecdevelopment that will contain over 200 highrise buildings when finished. The completed first phase of the project is shown.
The Dubai Mall will be the largest shopping mall in the world with over 9 million square feet of shopping and around 1000 stores.
Ski Dubai,(already open,)is the largest indoor skiing facility in the world. This is a rendered image of another future indoor skiing facility that is being planned.
Some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as Ocean Heights and The Princess Tower, which will be the largest residential building in the world at over a 100 stories, will line the Dubai Marina.
The Dubai Metro system, once completed, will become the largest fully automated rail system in the world.
The Dubai World Central International Airport will become the largest airport in size when it is completed.
Currently there are more construction workers in Dubai than there are actual citizens.
So come on. What are you waiting for ? You can’t let all the workers run out of a job.
Just keep on filling up your petrol tanks.
Construction began in 2005 on the Burj Dubai and is expected to be complete by 2008.
