The World or World Islands:
is an artificial archipelago of various small islands constructed in the
rough shape of a world map, located 4.0 kilometres (2.5 mi) off the
coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The World islands are composed
mainly of sand dredged from Dubai's shallow coastal waters, and are one
of several artificial island developments in Dubai. The World's
developer is Nakheel Properties, and the project was originally
conceived by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.
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.
