Dubai relies on using oil to desalinate all the water it needs. When the cheap oil runs out, the whole area will go back to desert. It will be all over in 50 years.

typical brit comment, 'it's different, i don't like it'... 'life was better back home'....

Guest (925 days ago)

You all dont realise one thing! This is about being successful. your all saying its crap, not good. If your so Macho, why dont your countries government build something spectacular like this? Ungreatful shits. If you donmt like it here, why come in the first place. Dubai takes crime seriously, may be some other countries should take after them.

Guest: żżż (934 days ago)

to be able to create something like this is just stunning. it is a true engineering feet, however 1 big natural disasture and the whole island will be nothing more then a pile of ruble and sand. as beautiful as it is, i doubt it will survive for longer then 20 years, if nothing mayor happens to it in that time.

Tsunami. Gone. Money well spent.

Guest: Rich (935 days ago)

Why would you not want to live there? Sun, sea and beaches on your doorstep, no chavs to be seen anywhere (they couldn't afford it). Awesome place.

Guest: sayed (837 days ago)

your all just jealous. This place looks bliss. if i had the money to buy a property on that island, i'd do it in the blink of an eye. Your all just haters.

Dubai is a hell where you can be locked up for taking over the counter drugs or having traces of drugs (including codine!) in your system even if you didn't take them there. Don't go!!

Latest comment: " Wes24 - youre sooo wrong its ridiculous,, firstly deslaination is done through ion exchange, so F*** you, the oil is not used. and the whole reason theyve made this thing is to increase the revenue from tourism, thus reducing overall dependency on oil trade. so even if the oil runs out, theyre gonna have a Sh** load of money cos of all the eccentric tourist schemes "

Hey dimwits you need to get out more. These islands are to bring in income when the oil runs out. They are great. Happy that you stay back in the UK with your old people and your gas fires. leave these places for people with imagination.

Guest: Nuno Maia (934 days ago)

Hey Sheik. I just wanted to let you know that petrol is going to END sometime soon. It sucks, doesn't it?

Guest (935 days ago)

fu*kin shit hole,full of tw*ts with too much cash,pompous cu*ts, hang the fu*kin lot of them and give there money to the old people of england, pay for the gas bills, thats another story,fuck sake i could keep going..............

Guest: Bollo (935 days ago)

Yeah sun, sea and beaches, and the freedom to live a mindless and hollow existence. If you started showing any political tendencies not in line with the current regime I bet life would start to get a lot less comfortable - but they, why would you? You've sold your soul already, so might as well shut up and enjoy it. And like Pikey says, this has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the corruption money and oil breeds. And most of the Pakistanis and Indians there are the slave labour that's built this 'paradise', if you live there their blood and sweat has gone into every brick of your house so you should be thanking them instead of treating them like invisible sub-humans.

Guest: Toad in the Hole (934 days ago)

Good to know that the current Prez of Afghanistan has a bolt hole here. Now he can get some tips for governing from british footballers....

Guest: Pikey (936 days ago)

Money corrupts, that is the case for any race and I'd hope I speak for the vast majority when i say comments like that below are not only dispicable but a indicative of a societal ill that is tearing the global community apart. Hate breeds hate, and alas, I suddenly hate you.

Guest: Greg (936 days ago)

I think they are relying on the client with large wealth and low IQ who saw Costner's "Field of Dreams". 'build it and they will come'!

Guest: Roy Oetting (933 days ago)

Do you suppose these houses are for working people? Can you imagine what rush hour is going to look like when all these houses are occupied? It is still track housing and I can't believe people with money would want to live in these places especially with 37 degree plus temperatures 5 months of the year.

All paid for with your gas guzzling SUVs.
