Within the next decade or so, Dubai is hoped to have the world's tallest building, the world's biggest mall. the world's biggest aquarium, the world's biggest theme park - and more. The Dubai horizon is an iconic part of the city's appeal and the latest project, The Dubai Creek Tower will become its centrepiece - with hopes to open it in 2025.

PleaseBlitz Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The last time Dubai did this it ran out of money and had to get bailed out by the ruler of the UAE for tens of billions. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Didn't Dubai just do this (build the worlds biggest tower as part of a new city center)? I'm curious what their fresh water situation is and plans with respect to climate change (are they in what could become a prohibitive inhabitable zone soon?) Not to mention, and anyone can correct me on this, the second you get out of Dubai you are quickly reminded the rest of the country is a third-world hellhole, so talk about putting all your eggs in one basket and **** everyone else in the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
