Dubai: Architecture

So, Dubai is a pretty up-and-coming state. Their architecture is some of the most innovative and amazing that I have ever seen.

Examine, for instance, The Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai. It is said to be the world's ONLY 7 star hotel in existence. The unique and luxurious Burj Al Arab offers the finest in facilities, location, services, and design. It dominates the Dubai coastline with its recognizable shape of a billowing sail.


The Palm Islands in Dubai, pictured right. New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands. They are the largest artificial islands in the world and can be seen from space. Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all. Wow!

And last, but certainly NOT least is this amazing piece of architecture that is due to be completed by 2011.


What are your thoughts on a "moving skyscraper?"
