The World Islands – Capturing the entire world



The World Islands have become one of the biggest attractions in Dubai. This place is an artificial archipelago comprising of 300 islands that have been made to represent the world map. Located along the coast of Dubai, this man-made structure is made using sand excavated from the sea. The whole idea was developed by the Dubai ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, while it was built by  Nakheel Properties.

Each of the islands spans through 14,000 square meters to 42,000 square meters. There is an average of a 100 meter distance between each of the islands. The complete development spans across 6km in length and 9km in breadth. Surrounding this massive piece of land is an oval breakwater island. Approximately 232km of the shore has been developed. The development of the overall island has cost nearly 14 million USD. In terms of individual islands, the prices are in the range of 15 to 50 million USD. One of the islands is still up for sale at a cost of 250 million USD.

The project was brought to the world’s notice on May 6, 2003 by Sheikh Mohammed, while the excavation process began after a span of 4 months that is from September 2003. Almost 60% of the islands were sold out by January 2008. 20% of it was bought in the initial phase of 2007. By January 10, 2008, the entire project reached its completion with the final stone being laid out.
