The World Islands Dubai Overview
Dubai’s economic boom fueled a real estate market that was red hot for many years. During this time of speculation many unique ideas were being developed by real estate companies. One of these out of the box ideas was The World Islands which is a group of man made islands four kilometers off the coast of Dubai. The archipelago is roughly in the shape of a world map and each island group is named after areas or countries of the world. The developers of the exciting project is Nakheel Properties who are following the vision of the ruler of Dubai who conceived the idea of the World Islands. Currently the islands are still under construction and the only properties open on the archipelago is the model home for display and the Royal Island Beach Club.

History
Sheikh Mohammad, the ruler of Dubai, anounced the World Island project in May of 2003. Work commenced quickly and only 3 months later the heavy machinery was out at sea. The dredging work continued and the man made island started to appear slowly. 2008 was a break through year for the islands and 60% of the properties were sold out. Interestingly, the same year the final touches were put on the island and all work was complete. To date, no homes have yet been built on the island. -
