Looks like Kite Heaven to me!

to the right is "the world"...lots of small islands...and so far nothing build on it from what I know...
so, lots of flat water in between...must be an amazing location to kite!

Anyone went there already?

That is in Dubai no? Looks sweet wonder how long it took to build...

Looks really neat. Hope they've designed it with the rising sea levels in mind.

I heard nobody buying because the stagnate water makes it smell like sewer.
But, that's just second hand to me...

from reading, various places over the last few years:
1. Failed property development
2. Stagnant water
3. No wind
4. 50C temperatures
5. Depressing environment from a human rights/economic freedom point of view
6. Convenient location between Iran, Saudi, Israel etc. -maybe good fireworks displays?
Looks interesting from outer space though...

Yep, I used to live in Dubai. I learnt to kite there. Very little wind. I had a 16m north rebel. Most kite with 15-21m kites. Oman is a lot better!
