The World Islands Dubai: What to Do and When to...

The World Islands is a man-made archipelago located a few kilometers away from Dubai. It features 300 mini-islands, where hotels, resorts, houses, and establishments have been constructed on and off since the project was announced in 2003. The project was envisioned by Dubai’s ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,

The World Islands was designed represent seven continents, aimed at serving tourists a taste of the different sights and cultures from around the world, plus a one-of-a-kind holiday experience. It was an ambitious project that encountered environmental and financial challenges along the way. However, several developers made investments on the island properties and are working to build a luxurious destination like the world has never seen before.
