| The World Islands |
In 2003, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, announced a global landmark - 300 hundred islands reclaimed from the sea in the shape of the world map.
An icon in the making, The World is an engineering odyssey that has created an island paradise of sea, sand and sky. The development is a collection of private and resort islands that are sold by invitation only to chosen individuals who will leave their legacy with this epic development. Located off the coast of Dubai, and created by Dubai’s premier developer, The World has evolved into one of the most desirable and exclusive addresses on the planet.
Measuring approximately 9 kilometres in width by 7 kilometres in length, the development will cover approximately 931 hectares and add an additional 232 kilometres of beachfront to Dubai’s coastline by using over 320 million cubic metres of sand to form the islands. Yachts will be the primary mode of transportation, giving both residents and visitors an incredible water-oriented travel experience across the crystal clear waters of the Arabian Gulf

21km to the East by Northeast of The Palm Jumeirah and four kilometers offshore from Dubai, United Arab Emirates
