Dubai: A must watch after 5 years ...


Just an eye on what is happening in Dubai ... (And believe me this is just a small part of it ...)
Dubai's Sheikh has brought up this city from nowhere to top of the world, in merely 20 years ...

I think this is how the leaders should be ... I think !!

Some of Dubai's projects completed/Running -

Burj-Al-Arab:
What to tell about this ...?
world's tallest free-standing hotel ... the only claimed 7-Star of the world ... cost almost $2000 for a night stay ...
The sad part is ... not open for tourists :(


Burj Tower (2010):
World's Tallest Skyscraper (2684 Ft), more than 1000 Ft taller than second highest (Taipai 101 - 1671 Ft).










Palm Islands:
What about a society having all flats with a sea view? This residential society is created on an artificial island.







The World:
Another residential built on artificial island, shape of world map.







Dubai Towers:
A four-tower complex ... the towers twist, wave, taper ... all at the same time ...











Burj Al Alam:
A commercial tower, Designed to resemble a crystal flower ...












Hydropolis:
World's first underwater luxury hotel.






Rotating Tower:
Do not have words to explain this building ...





Palm Trump Hotel:









Anara Towers:

21st Dec, 2012

Heard about this date?

If possible (rather feasible) ... Do everything that you want to before this (Not sure if I will be married by then ... aah! ) ... because this day is claimed to be the end of world ...

I read a lot to get a better understanding, but grasped almost nothing ...

Some scientific reasons that also support this prophecy, illogically derived by mayan's long count calendar ...

Galactic Alignment: It says that Sun, Earth and Milky-way galaxy's center will be aligned, and that will disturb magnetic field on earth, and result in Tsunamis and Earthquakes ...

Geomagnetic Reversal: Stats that earth's magnetic field changes its orientation in every 50,000 years approx, and it is overdue for long. (haha ...)

Waiting to see view of Roland Emmerich in awaited '2012' ...
