Re: The thread about ridiculous Dubai ideas
In The National today: Dubai's most ambitious projects in pictures.

Is the police museum in the shape of a hat really going ahead? I am willing to bet that the rain forest never happens and can't see how the underwater (floating surely?) villas can be viable. How do you get utilities there?

Re: The thread about ridiculous Dubai ideas
Quite probably; but I have been just dipping in and out for the last few years. Now that I'm coming back, I'll pay more attention. 
Funny you mentioned the utilities to the underwater things. I remember the World development...I even saw it being built when I flew in and out of DXB. I always wondered how they intended to get utlities to the islands. Did it ever get finished?

Re: The thread about ridiculous Dubai ideas
The main job I worked on when there last time was the Dubai Towers job in Doha, being built by Sama Dubai. It was a big hole in the ground for most of the time and the last time I saw it, it wasn't even half finished. Still not sure if it ever did get finished, and it started about 10 years ago.
