Dubai Travel Guide

Dubai is set to spend $817-million on building the world’s largest arch bride, at 617-feet tall and 1-mile in length. Expect it to be in service by 2012.

Dubai is the Tetsuo of cities, expanding so fast it’s on the verge of creating of its own universe. And architecture that looks like it’s from the 22nd century only adds to the sheer grandeur of its growth—this bridge, envisioned by NY architecture firm Fxfowle, will be the largest and tallest arch bridge in the world, at one mile long and 670 feet tall.

Construction starts next month and is due to wrap up in 2012 after running some $817 million dollars. World’s first vacuum tube mass transit system will launch in Dubai shortly thereafter.

Emaar Bawadi, the joint venture between Emaar Properties and Bawadi, a member of Tatweer, has launched Teema, the first residential community in Asmaran, the 70 million sqft master-planned project being developed within the Dh200bn hospitality project Bawadi.

Teema will have 308 town houses and will be by a retail facility and a community centre. Sales will begin from May 20, just seven months into announcing the multi-billion joint venture. The residential community will have pedestrian areas and master-planned infrastructure apart from a retail centre, mosque and school.

Within its development, Teema will have green landscape and walkways, in close access to several community amenities. Teema homes comprise a mix of duplexes and two- and three- bedroom villas. The homes have all been fitted with elegant Spanish architectural features with the apartments having a built-area in the region 1,780 to 2,800 sqft. Construction on the project will begin shortly.

This idea is based on “The World” located in Dubai - a society with new needs of marine transportation between artificial islands. We are living in a world where artificial islands (were finished). Powered with solar cells integrated in the window skin and moves forward with hovercraft. This concept deliver a new dimension of discrete sea limousine in terms of luxury yacht design. Controlled by a satellite navigation system, therefore no human pilot, sea limousine seems to be the best mode of conveyance over the blue channels.
