Just watching a program on National Geographic on the building of the Palm Jumeirah (pictured above and in post below...)
It is amazing, it is a huge island made with sand in a perfect palm shape. It shows all the problems they had to deal with waves eroding the coast, not having clean water inside, having to keep changing the requirements, putting so many hundreds of hotels and shopping centers and houses and such all along every inch of the 5 km by 5 km island with 17 palm fronds! it is huge...you need to watch the program to get the full grasp. It is really quite amazing!!!! Also it takes so many people to create it....there are 10's of thousands of construction sites....
the program said that the crown prince 'was so inspired' that he is now building two more that are much bigger than the original one!!
Amazing!!!
