Palm Islands $1 billion Hotel
Plans
 Palm Jumeirah has an outer rim
that is supposed to hold 23 hotels. South Africa's Kerzner
International is already building Atlantis, The Palm, a $1.1 billion,
2,000-room hotel complex it says will be similar to its Atlantis hotel
in The Bahamas.
Together the islands will house more than 20,000
apartments and homes — some built on stilts above the water — along
with 100 hotels, and marinas, theme parks, restaurants and malls.
Island-building isn't unusual by Dubai's grandiose
standards. It has plans for an underwater hotel, the world's tallest
skyscraper, an indoor ski slope and a gargantuan theme park supposed
to be nearly as large as the city itself.
The cachet of Nakheel's man-made islands already
has been eclipsed by plans for a far larger project, the Dubai
Waterfront, which will reconfigure Dubai's last stretch of undeveloped
seashore with a city of 400,000 on manmade islands and canals. |

 When
I first came to Dubai, I remember it was the pure intensity of the heat that
struck me most. As I emerged from the door of the 747, trudging down the
metallic steps to the airport tarmac, it felt like I was walking in front of
an open furnace. My skin seemed to pull itself tight across my entire body,
as if to say “What the hell? Get us out of here.”
