The World is Not Enough
Nakheel LogoWe've talked about the Palm Islands and The World Islands they're building off the coast of Dubai a few different times recently (see Trump in Dubai and The World). The Palm Jumeirah is open now, and the World is ready to begin building construction. The Palm Jebel Ali is still under construction, and I haven't heard much about the Palm Deira lately.

Well last week developer Nakheel announced a new set of islands in the Gulf - would you believe The Universe?

No, I'm not making this up. These new islands will "draw inspiration from the wonders of the solar system, with islands in the shape of the sun, the moon and the planets".

Not sure of the timeframe on these badboys, but I have heard 15 to 20 years from now.

Personally, I think they're kind of ugly, but probably I won't be looking at them much from this angle, anyway ...

Nakheel's the Universe Islands

So by "islands in the shape of the sun, the moon and the planets" they are going with the "things that are round" motif? Brilliant.

I see the world islands are going to be the center of the universe....very evangelical of them.
