The photo below is the first aerial shot of the progress of “The World Islands” development in Dubai.

For those who may not know or have been living in a bubble for the last few years, The World is a development of 300 manmade islands built off the coast of Dubai. It’s purpose to create a map of the world in the form of manmade islands. The only way to get to and from the islands will be by boat or air as there will be no roads leading to the islands, the ultimate in privacy.

The cost of the islands average between – million, but the most expensive costs around 0 million, and if you want to buy one you must be invited to do so, amongst the owners of islands already sold is Sir Richard Branson, who has staked his claim to the UK in 2006.
