Meydan City, Dubai
26 December, 2007

Today I will tell you about a world landmark development taking place in Dubai. The project is called Meydan City, and like everything else done in Dubai, is incredible.

Meydan City will be a mixed use development which will center around the Meydan Racecourse. This racecourse will be the LARGEST IN THE WORLD and is expected to be completed by 2010. The racecourse will accomodate 60,000 and will be the new home of the Dubai Racing Club and the Dubai World Cup. There will be at least one 5 star hotel, numerous restaurants, shops, etc

What is even more exciting is that, in addition to the above, an ENTIRE CITY will be built around the Meydan Racecourse. Meydan City will contain numerous commercial and residential projects: office buildings, condos, shops of all kinds, a marina, parks, businesses of all kinds, etc., etc. Meydan City will be an entire self contained work/resort community.

We have something very unique with Meydan City--an entire work/resort city as part of the largest racecourse in the world. There is nothing like this anywhere else. It will become WORLD FAMOUS!

Here is the link to Meydan City where you can see for yourself just how amazing this Dubai Mega Project really is:

UAE Railway: Mega Transportation Project
20 December, 2007

The UAE unveiled a brand new Mega Project called the UAE Railway on Oct. 30th 2007. This is a very exciting project which will create a railway system that will LINK ALL SEVEN Emirates. This is a huge boon for UAE transportation.

The first phase of the project will focus mainly on creating an industrial railway. This rail system will be made up of cargo trains that will carry containers, dry bulk, cement, sand, rock, petro-chemical products, etc. It will take a huge burden off the crowded highways of the Emirates which are loaded down with trucks carrying these things. It will also speed up the transportation of these goods. This phase will take 5 years to complete.

The second phase of the UAE Railway will be a passenger rail line which will be tremendous for travel among the UAE as it too will link all 7 Emirates. The UAE Railway is yet another Mega Project that will bring huge benefits to all of the Emirates. Read more here:

Bahrain Financial Harbour
17 December, 2007

Today we will step out of the UAE and go to Bahrain in order to cover the Bahrain Financial Harbour (BFH). The architecture of all the Bahrain Mega Projects, including the BFH, looks like something out of a science fiction movie 200 years in the future! Truly amazingly futuristic.

BFH looks like some kind of financial Nirvana! If you worked here you would never want to go home!

BFH is: 

"A world class fully integrated waterfront development which will create a complete financial city, a self contained community in the center of Manamma, Kingdom of Bahrain."

More:

"Envisaged as a complete financial city for the global finance sector BFH development uniquely combines business, leisure and residential components and is being developed on a high profile waterfront site. The development has also been designated by the Government of Bahrain as a Strategic Investment Zone, with a unique blend of liberalized conditions to attract private sector participation. BFH offers a highly compelling rationale that makes it a natural choice for any progressive and ambitious financial institution."

BFH is destined to become a primary financial center for the Middle East and, in fact, a financial center for the entire world.

Here are 2 excellent YouTube videos of BFH:

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!

Here is a YouTube video of The World:

12 December, 2007

I am sure many of you have seen Donald Trump's reality tv show "The Apprentice." Well the UAE has created its own reality tv show called "The Hydra Executives." This show takes place in the UAE, specifically Abu Dhabi.

Here is a summary of the show:

- There will be 16 candidates, 8 from America and 8 from Britain. 8 men and 8 women

- They will compete against each other in different real estate projects in Abu Dhabi

- The show will last 16 weeks

- The winner gets $1,000,000

- The competition will be fierce for that kind of money!

Here is a quote from Dr. Al Fahim:

"The show will aim to educate and entertain, while simultaneously tapping international entrepreneurial talent to start their real estate venture in the richest and fastest growing development market in the world, Abu Dhabi."

Sounds great doesn't it!!??

Here is the title of an article which was written about the show:

'Abu Dhabi Developer Challenges Donald Trump With Middle East Reality Show.'

...which about sums it all up.

The Hydra Executives sounds FANTASTIC and will be broadcast on Showtime/Infinity TV. This show will be great for the UAE as it will give the entire world a chance to see the incredible business opportunities going on there.

07 December, 2007

The Palm Jumeirah is one of the most incredible Mega Projects in world history. Some call it the eighth wonder of the world! Being developed by Nakheel, it is also one of the most well known of the UAE Mega Projects. I remember when I first saw the plan for The Palm back in 2001! I never thought Dubai, or anyone else, could build such an amazing manmade island. But Dubai did it-- and is building 2 other Palm Islands as well! Today I will cover only the Palm Jumeirah beacause this Palm Island is the most developed of the three.

The Palm Jumeirah is built in the shape of a gigantic date palm tree, with a trunk, 17 fronds and a crown all surrounded by a crescent island that acts as a water break. The Palm is an ultra high luxury residential and resort development that offers a wide variety of mansions, villas, apartments, condos and town homes.

The Palm Jumeirah will be home to some of the most luxurious residences, hotels and resorts anywhere in the world including:

- Palm Trump Hotel and Tower. Even the great Donald Trump Is part of Palm Jumeirah!

- The Atlantis Hotel. This hotel/resort is an amazing fantasy world unto itself.

- Fairmont Palm Residence. Ultra Luxury residences.

- Palm Golden Mile Residences. A beautiful stretch of 700 apartments all on the water. The Golden Mile will also contain some of the most expensive shops in the world.

- Marina Residences. Six luxury buildings located on the water.

- The Emerald Palace. A 7 Storey showplace featuring beautiful neo classical architecture. It really does look like a palace.

- There will even be a monorail that goes directly into The Palm!

PKN Princess Resort, Ajman
05 December, 2007

Ajman may not be as well known as Dubai or Abu Dhabi but Ajman is in a real estate boom right now and developing very, very quickly! Ajman has many Mega Projects being built. Today I will tell you about one of my favorites and one of the most interesting, PKN Princess Resort.

PKN Princess Resort is about as close as you will ever come to Las Vegas in the Emirates. In fact, PKN Properties - the developers of the project - are saying that the resort will bring "Las Vegas style" living and entertainment to the UAE, and will be unlike any other project ever attempted in the UAE!

Furthermore, the resort will even CONTAIN A CASINO...but without the gambling. A number of big movie stars are also involved in the project including Patrick Swayze who was brought to the unveiling of the project. I have heard rumors that Caesars Palace will be involved in this project. Some are even speculating that one day gambling WILL take place here. Who knows?  

PKN Princess Resort will contain: luxury villas, mansions, chalets and condos. The resort complex will have: luxury hotels, mid and high rise towers, shopping malls, cinemas, fitness clubs, a Las Vegas Style Entertainment Casino and much more! This is a truly exciting and amazing UAE Mega Project.
