  • Dubaisland, Satellite photos reveal that Dubai is creating a series of Dubai-shaped islands off the coast of Dubai
    One might think that emirs of Dubai would learn from their past mistakes after Dubai's artificial 'The World' archipelago surrendered its sands to the sea, but sinking islands and rising tides have yet to flag the Arab emirate's ambitions of world building. Aerial photographs recently revealed that Dubai has been hard at work creating a new island - one shaped exactly like Dubai's city center, but 1/3 the size. That's not all - closer inspection of the photos shows that a smaller island shaped like Dubai is located off the coast of that island, and an even smaller Dubai-shaped island lies off the coast of that one!...<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/aerial-photos-reveal-that-dubai-is-building-a-series-of-dubai-shaped-islands-off-the-coast-of-dubai/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
