Some 300 odd islands are being built for sale and almost 90% of the project is completed in record 4 years. Yes, they have started the construction in 2004.
The size of the islands range from 23k sq.M to 84k sq.M. The price range of the islands starts at US$15 M.
The islands are separated by 50 to 100 m of water.
The World is being built primarily using sand dredged from the sea. The World is the brainchild of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai. It is owned and is being constructed by Nakheel Properties (Nakheel Corp.)
It will be located 4.1 km off the shore of Jumeirah, close to Palm Jumeirah, between Burj Al Arab and Port Rashid of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Yay. Now if I ever become insanley wealthy, I can buy my own private island! Right next to a bunch of other private islands. Interesting though.
WOW! Very beautiful. All because of the black gold.
Again and again I must marvel at the ideas people come up with...
Dubai is a very good example for those extremes, anyways...
