The
World involves the creation of over 300 man made
islands that are designed to represent the world
map. The islands will be built in the shape of the
world map, and each island will represent a country
(for example England). There are four protective
breakwaters on the outer perimeters to provide shelter
from long and cross-shore waves. The inner breakwaters
will be a submerged reef and the outer breakwaters
will be above the water.
Investors will have the freedom to create their
own personal vision on the islands for private or
commercial use, whether it is for leisure, residential
or tourist developments. Indeed, the fantasy has
no boundaries and investors can have their own hotels,
golf course, hotel apartments, palace or even country
side house, etc. … The 300 islands will be
offered for sale on a freehold basis to selected
investors only. Construction on The World is round-the-clock,
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The World will measure approximately 9km in length
and 7km in width. It will add 232 kilometres of
beachfront to Dubai’s coastline. The average
distance between islands is 50-100 metres, with
an average depth of water in the navigation channels
from 11 to 16 metres. The World will be a sophisticated
network of islands, with a series of waterways,
canals and lakes to enhance the overall design.
The World will be visible from space by satellite.
All 300 islands will only be accessible by marine
or air transport (helicopters), with world-class
marinas to berth boats, yachts and cruise liners.
Two mainland marinas will service The World. Four
hub islands in The World will service the islands.
Two main ports (the fishing ports of Umm Suqeim
and Jumeirah) will serve these 4 islands where boats,
yachts and cruising ships can anchor.
On the world there will be small exclusive resorts
with limited number of villas and apartments like
The Jasmine Gardens project in Thailand, and you
can already purchase in these projects.
