The World Islands, Dubai
13 December, 2007

The World is another fantastic premier man made Dubai island project being developed by Nakheel, the same group that gave us the Palm Jumeirah. The World consists of 300 islands designed in such a way that when they are looked at as a group they look like a map of the globe!

The 300 islands of The World will be divided into 4 seperate catagories:

> Estate homes

> Private homes

> Community islands

> Dream resorts

These islands have become very popular and many have already been sold to wealthy businessmen, royalty and celebrities. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are rumored to have purchased an island at The World.

The price of each island varies in cost between $15,000,000 and $50,000,000. Cost depends on the overall size of the island and its location. Needless to say the islands of The World are being built for the super rich market.

Not all islands of The World will be sold to individuals however. Some of the islands are being purchased by developers and will be turned into luxury resorts. One such development is Perseus Resort and Spa. It consists of 2 islands which will contain: a luxury hotel/spa, 44 villas, an apartment complex with 220 units and a marina.

The World is one of the most amazing Mega Projects ever built. It will become a UAE icon!
