The World - Dubai

[@theryancomedy]

it funny because after the market crashed in 2008, all development on "THE WORLD" in dubai, came to a halt and it is curently deserted

[@epicflip3377]

WHO Is watching this during quarantine???

[@Jamazonify]

This is beyond awesome.

[@counterstrikenoob101]

i was in dubai for 29 days in march....the best 29 days of my life!!!! i am only 15 and i really enjoyed it....and guess what!!! i am going again next march!!!

[@CiElitOo0O]

Did you go back to Dubai when you were 16? Its now 2024...

[@amalmeem1695]

I live in Dubai,i'm an Emirati and i'm in high school,,living in Dubai is like living in heaven,everyone is nice to u and we r nice 2 others ;D

[@jondi23]

Some reason this reminds me of Walt Disney Vision of epcot before he die then they change it to a theme park

[@CaptainBaseball]

The World - Epic :D

[@Raethoric]

Project was abandoned in 2009, leaving $56 billions in losses. Little by little, the islands are now being dissolved by the waves, in the sea. Welcome to the arab world.

[@ghplayer1992]

hahahahahahah the height of jealousy

[@tigris5839]

he's right, get information

[@nelly64hlw]

@@tigris5839 Lebanon Island is open now for Tourist and the Heart of Europe Island cluster (Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Main Europe, Morocco, and St. Petersburg) opens for business at the end of 2019...you can purchase/invest in homes now.

Oh My! I really can't get my eyes away from the screen while watching your video! Definitely one of the best. I love it! I will surely go back for more! Enjoyed it a lot. Fully watched! 🎉💥💯💢💢

[@lauriersroses333]

i was in dubai twice, once with my kids, and other time with my gf,we hug and hold hands, dnt believe trush from some media or some ignorant people :)

[@DBSpy1]

People amaze me why they don't learn from the pass,good luck during a big Earthquake and or Tsunami,you will never see me living on a beach like that. And the tall buildings on the shore will go down,because the sand under them will turn into quicksand during a Earthquake. Sounds like a Disneyland commercial for the simply minded, and or arrogant.

[@Thebeautiful11]

Is there a prison?

[@abhisheksingh-pb4bc]

This can only be done in a monarchy. Wasting of money.

[@20erkhan]

I was born and raised in Dubai :) proud to be raised in Dubai

[@ghayath2011]

Been here for 6 months in Dubai .. The country of BIG IDEAS … beautiful and kind Local National people .. they deserve all the best..

[@americangirldrama]

It would've been more beautiful if it was created by God...

[@lets.walk.around.gothenburg]

👌😍 Thank you very much for sharing!!

[@ThatDudeJCrash]

It's awesome to know there's a place like this out there in the world.

[@madmouse71]

I love Dubai! Smashing place for a holiday. When you visit Dubai, though, make sure you stay in the Burj al Arab (VERY expensive!!)

[@MRresievil310]

it is amazing to say that, most of humanity's great civilizations were centered in the middle east and Africa.

[@marta2000mg]

i fly in Dubai,and i think i like it!! its the most beautiful country in the world!! i love Dubai!!!

[@DerMaskenfrosch]

@soori20 True, but much more importent is that they did not predict the tides proberly. The islands are simply washing away more and more while the they constantly have to get the sound out of the ground to keep ships able to pass.

[@OfftoShambala]

an excessive marvel of mans creativity and ability ... if completed, may it remain safe

[@danyguya]

YAHOO !!! BEAUTIFUL !!! TANKYOU !!! C'EST VRAIMENT TROP BEAU J'AIME !!! MERCI !!! BISOUS

[@soori20]

@TheRightThinker ur right about everything but you r forgetting one major thing: Dubai is a city/state. It doesn't matter if Dubai is in debt as long as Abu Dhabi has there back. And also not 'all' of the water comes from desalination plants, there are some water reseviours (mind my spelling) around the whole country and thats how the people there were surviving before the economic boom (and even though desalination is expensive, it is not as negative as you portray it).

[@VerseInfinitum]

I have to say that Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum must be among the greatest leaders to exist in the Islamic world. His majesty is one exceptionally talented leader to terraform a baron landscape into a mega-metropolis! The Islamic world should be proud of Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for exceptional urban craftsmanship! I'll even say that his majesty is my favorite Middle Eastern leader.

[@tvlussoart5063]

That's amazing. Have a nice day

[@BrutalNightmares]

so this is real?! holyyy crappp... it's GORGEOUS :'O!! i would look up pictures of it.. thought they were just paintings... this is like heaven:|!!

[@MardianWH1]

I love how he says "Epic" at the end.

[@mthompson24]

just imagine it in 20 30 40 years for now... if you can. all of this already is unimaginable until you see it here. My God, Dubai is the dream of future.

[@IrisMG]

I'm floored by the idea that an island can be man-made! What is it on top of?? I want one!

[@jemschannel6926]

Thanks for sharing this video nice and informative

[@VipericVampire]

@PresidentZod I couldn't agree more. Although I think more cities should look like it. The architecture and design is wonderful and innovative.

[@anna536B]

Dobry wieczór..Bardzo ładne video...Pozdrawiam cieplutko.

[@TheDonkru]

50 years ago was a desert, you see now, the most beautiful architecture in the world, beautiful cities and islands, when you think of the best, largest, most beautiful> You mean Saudi Arabia ... I was there and I can say only one the best cities in the world .

[@jeovanni30]

Hello everyone, this project sounds good, a product of talented people who have God given knowledge. But I suggest you visit also Hundred Islands of the Philippines in the province of Pangasinan. This is a natural wonders. Come visit the Philippines. Thanks. No bad comments please.

[@BatDude27]

@whiteshark5150 actual ireland isnt as exiting as this.This is a vacation island with an irish theme its not meant to mimic ireland.

[@TravelwithSnowGirl]

Great creations of the world 🌎 👍

[@sahandh1693]

Dubai was built off money from oil yes, but it sustains itself from investments, tourism, and business now. 7 percent is from oil.

[@TheSoophhia]

I am from Sweden but I have lived in Dubai for 5 years! GOSH, I want to get back there.. :(

[@sahandh1693]

Actually oil only makes 7 percent of the revenue. Most of the money is from entrepreneurs and from people vacationing.

[@kaizenx68]

Why do people always think the worst.I think this is a remarkable thing to build and i hope they build it and it works out great.I am sure that when it is done i sure will visit and stay for a couple of weeks.

[@inflamespwn]

insane, id like to know how they create solid foundations and piles with the water level so high, quite remarkable

[@MichelineNguyen]

Thanks you so much for sharing

[@salakasto]

stop complaining about the US and comment on the damn video. im glad theres a country out there that can build like this and not give a damn like most countries. its sad that most future projects are now scrapped due to the financial crisis, but it is nice to see such a city go through development like this

[@hejazijewish7833]

When we visit another country, we respect the laws and culture of the community even if we don't like it & we expect you to do the same .

[@princepersia1]

Jealousy is a sign of low self-esteem and bad character, might want to remember that next time before you hate on something you'll never have or get to.

[@NeNo576]

there is nothing like that i live in dubai? from where u get that? just like europe filled with bars night clubs everything..

[@soori20]

@BruisedASScheeks All fault lines where earthquakes appear are quite far from UAE. Plus even if a tsunami does happen somewhere outside the Gulf Sea, the creek would reduce the impact.

[@sepsepsep12]

I went to Dubai and yea its awesume :) We are all complaining about the islands and rich people and dubai n shit...guys i dont know about u but owning one of those islands there and just chilling there must be amazingggggg. I WUD!!!!

[@pqXbdXpq]

the people who are hating are just jealous people who dream of owning one but can't and never will!

[@ginsunh]

A very nice computer rendered video, but the truth is that only one island has a permanent structure and the rest remain empty and unwanted. To make matters worse, Dubai's Palm projects have changed the offshore currents to the point that the water between the World islands has sat dormant and gone bad.

[@fruchtfleisch]

It's amazing this project !!!!

[@soori20]

For those saying "ZOMG what if a tsunami comes"... Without risk you cannot succeed. Did the USA stop building after they were hit by the hurricanes? Did Japan stop simply evacuate after the earthquakes? Obviously people have to take in the natural factors but that wouldn't stop them from achieving 'the best'. Furthermore, UAE is really far from any fault lines so its highly unlikely that an earthquake thats big enough to cause a tsunami will reach it. Thank you.

[@MrTherockobama]

dubai is so epic they can't show commercials for it on TV

[@psp420bam]

"It started like this. We began to get complaints from people using the beach. The water looked and smelled odd, and they were starting to get sick after going into it. So I wrote to the ministers of health and tourism and expected to hear back immediately - but there was nothing. Silence. I hand-delivered the letters. Still nothing."

[@dubaips]

Nicely done

[@Snyoreetaaa]

WOW can't wait to see this happen! love UAE

[@Lemonard0]

You want to see research on future energy? Look up "Masdar City" on Google. A city that is being built which uses 100% renewable energy.

[@sabiqoon]

This video was posted 15 years ago...and The World is still deserted even in 2022.

[@justme2009ification]

@Akimyp I was thinking of visiting there next year. Can you tell me a bit about Dubai?

[@psp420bam]

The "ringleaders" were imprisoned. I try a different question: does Sohinal regret coming? All the men look down, awkwardly. "How can we think about that? We are trapped. If we start to think about regrets..." He lets the sentence trail off. Eventually, another worker breaks the silence by adding: "I miss my country, my family and my land. We can grow food in Bangladesh. Here, nothing grows. Just oil and buildings."

[@gueroxp]

wow. this is amazing c: you would have to be quite a genius to make your own land, so whoever thought of this. props all the way from San Diego ahaha.

[@soori20]

@soori20 desalination is more expensive than oil if the same quantity is being produced. However, the UAE (mainly Abu Dhabi) is selling a shit load of oil compared to the production of water and therefore, this won't necessarily be impossible to sustain.

[@TheLonePantheist]

Actually, Dubai's economy is booming, and Dubai gets most of its money from Tourism and real estate. It is similar to what we Americans did with Las Vegas, a land with absolutely nothing, yet we made it into a tourist hotspot where water and food can be imported from all over the world with revenues from the tourism, it is the same with Dubai. The days of the middle east being solely dependent on oil is coming (SLOWLY)to an end.

[@wdshun20]

One of beautiful city in the world, hope I can visit Dubai :D

[@ingve1974]

@spandexballet I'm sure NY, LA and Chicago has more to offer then skyscrapers. Dubai does not. That was my point, which apparently you didn't get. I got no beef with skyscrapers. The reason for building skyscrapers is quite apparent. But that's not the case in Dubai. There they build them to impress, and in reality they have no function but to draw attantion and tourists.

[@sarzamineiran]

"As of 2010, only a single island has any building on it, which is a show home - all the other projects having been cancelled or delayed due to the 2008 financial crisis.[2] While the developer and Dubai government deny it, a participant in a related law suit has alleged that the islands are also sinking back into the sea.[2]"

[@Lemonard0]

Yes, its actually true, I don't know the exact percentage but oil makes up LESS than 50% of Dubai's economy.

[@psp420bam]

Sounds like a scary place to live Sahinal Monir wrote ""To get you here, they tell you Dubai is heaven. Then you get here and realize it is hell. As soon as he arrived at Dubai airport, his passport was taken from him by his construction company. He has not seen it since." "If you don't like it, the company told him, go home. "But how can I go home? You have my passport, and I have no money for the ticket," he said. "Well, then you'd better get to work," they replied.

[@joseph0086]

I am offered a pretty well-paid job in Dubai. But still hesitating whether i should go or not. How's the life over there as a single foreigner?

[@masonbegley1214]

Dubai is the coolest place ever !

[@sormu16]

Nice idea. Wish some of the money would have been spend on people needing it but that is not how the world works. So, nice idea.

[@PAULGOREE]

Dubai is so amazing!

[@FrostbitexP]

@zillah712 Well obviously, were just common folk, of course we cant cant afford this stuff. But for rich people, a vacation here is like a common family going on a normal vacation.

[@Hanniballo77]

Dubai makes me want to be ...... more proud to be Arab ... lol I am Tunisian-Italian

OMG this video in 2007! so just come to Dubai in 2012 & see how it is!

[@candydeca8]

I've been living in the US for over 10 yrs but I really wanna move to Dubai because it seems like a perfect place to live and have a good job. There's actually a lot of Americans who want to move out of their country, the majority of Americans are not rich b/c our govt took away our jobs. Ovbviously you're not talking about the US citizens, youre talking about our govt.

This Is amazing work of Engineering Love u dubai...

[@carlsenhawking-nakamura5671]

best regards from warsaw, poland!!!!

[@vididi34]

@NoMAIG Umm... That doesn't mean that people have to stop building and working and sit on their sofas saying "We will not work, because there will be an end for this world and all the things we did will become a mirage".

[@hemo1001]

@TheRightThinker i was in dubai in the last summer .... i agree it was so hot that even me ( i live in saudi arabia- riyadh the temp reaches 52C here sometimes ) couldn't handle it in dubai... but it's really an awesome city .... i recomend not going in the summer.... about the workers i don't know but you may had a bad experience there .. it depends from one to another.

[@JavaLu]

@dida232 We should especially thumbs up for these guys. They didn't just hog the money into their own pockets or use it on war project. This is the best way any human can spent their money, transforming a desert into a nice place. This is humanity at their best!

WOOOW , AMAZING !

now that is NICE !!! im going there what ever it takes

ok, just saying, but Owl City used that building at 0:18 for their album cover. Was wondering where it was. =P

[@manictiger]

I'll leave you with this. Giant egos are like giant stars. Nothing implodes harder than them. Think on it.

[@psp420bam]

"I can't talk to you," she said sternly. Not even if it's off the record? "I can't talk to you." But I don't have to disclose your name... "You're not listening. This phone is bugged. I can't talk to you," she snapped, and hung up. The next day I turned up at her office. "If you reveal my identity, I'll be sent on the first plane out of this city," she said, before beginning to nervously pace the shore with me.

[@graceexplorevlog4044]

Dubai, one of the best!

[@psp420bam]

I wanted to understand how the government of Dubai will react, so I decided to look at how it has dealt with an environmental problem that already exists - the pollution of its beaches. an American, working at one of the big hotels - had written in a lot of online forums arguing that it was bad and getting worse, so I called her to arrange a meeting

[@WarrenAch]

There's only two downsides with UAE: 1)Human exploitation is common among construction projects, but that is necessary for a country to develop(China is a prime example). 2)During summer, the weather can be extremely hot.

[@sacura605]

@ToothbrushXBoxCoD what about the ocean environment that was disturbed by the making of the islands?

[@NoOne3234]

@PrincessAlleyne There are really two things wrong with this. 1. The serious human rights issues and mistreatment of foreign workers 2. The vast investment in real estate and construction where there is no demand for it. Dubai is a city of only 2 million people. It cannot support a skyline like that of NY or Chicago. It might have looked good at first, but when the bubble burst, you sort of realize that investing your wealth in cardboard houses and empty steel frames isn't a good idea.

[@pauloamaral360]
