    Grand project!
    Palm Jumeirah is the grandest of the grand projects in Dubai. It's the largest man made island in the world, and it can be seen from outer space. It took 6 years and 12 billion US dollars to build. It has a monorail running up its spine which ends at the impressive Atlantis Hotel. And, it's not the only man-made island in Dubai. There are several others in various stages of construction. If you want to see it from above, go visit the “View at the Palm”, a 240 meter high viewpoint of the entire island, located on the 52nd floor of the Palm Tower Hotel.
    It's definitely a must-see attraction while in Dubai.

    Best man-made island!
    A wonder of man made island in the form of palm tree, this is a must visit spot in Dubai. It's best viewed from a helicopter ride.

    It simply shows you that without the proper planning Mother Nature takes back what was to be a great project!
    The World Islands is a project a few kilometers off the Dubai shoreline.
    I had the opportunity to sail out to The World Islands in 2008 and it was very impressive at that time, but you could see then the sea was eroding the man-made islands at an alarming rate.
    On most every flight into and out of Dubai International Airport over the past 10 years I always kept an keen eye on The World Islands project. Just last week I was able to snap a few photo’s from the airplane and boy is this project a total disappointment.
    No longer can you make out the continents and the man-made barrier reef has almost disappeared!
