$61Billion Arabian Canal, Dubai
29 December, 2007

The Arabian Canal is one of the grandest and most expensive Mega Projects in world history....so of course Dubai is doing it!! The total cost of the Arabian Canal will be a whopping $61Billion. Incredible! But that is what Dubai is all about!

The Arabian Canal is being developed by Limitless, the international real estate division of Dubai World. This Mega Project is being developed in two parts:

- The first part is a 75km canal which will go from the Palm Jebel Ali to the Palm Jumeirah. The cost is estimated at $11Billion.

- The second part will be an entirely new city that will run along the canal's southern flank. Estimated cost is $55Billion.

The entire project should be completed by 2010.

According to Saeed Ahmad, Chief Executive Officer of Limitless:

 "Arabian Canal will, without question, be one of the wonders of the engineering world."

...I totally agree!
