- The World Islands, are a collection of man-made islands shaped into the continents of the world, located off the coast of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It will consist of 300 small private artificial islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands.
This movie was found on the official website of The World project.
Edit:
Unfortunately The World project had been suspended due to the effects of the global financial crisis. Official website is no longer avaible. You can find more info on Wikipedia:

it funny because after the market crashed in 2008, all development on "THE WORLD" in dubai, came to a halt and it is curently deserted
Some reason this reminds me of Walt Disney Vision of epcot before he die then they change it to a theme park
Oh My! I really can't get my eyes away from the screen while watching your video! Definitely one of the best. I love it! I will surely go back for more! Enjoyed it a lot. Fully watched! 🎉💥💯💢💢
I love how he says "Epic" at the end.
WHO Is watching this during quarantine???
The World - Epic :D
i was in dubai for 29 days in march....the best 29 days of my life!!!! i am only 15 and i really enjoyed it....and guess what!!! i am going again next march!!!
Been here for 6 months in Dubai .. The country of BIG IDEAS … beautiful and kind Local National people .. they deserve all the best..
Project was abandoned in 2009, leaving $56 billions in losses. Little by little, the islands are now being dissolved by the waves, in the sea. Welcome to the arab world.
hahahahahahah the height of jealousy
he's right, get information
@@tigris5839 Lebanon Island is open now for Tourist and the Heart of Europe Island cluster (Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Main Europe, Morocco, and St. Petersburg) opens for business at the end of 2019...you can purchase/invest in homes now.
This is beyond awesome.
I live in Dubai,i'm an Emirati and i'm in high school,,living in Dubai is like living in heaven,everyone is nice to u and we r nice 2 others ;D
It's awesome to know there's a place like this out there in the world.
People amaze me why they don't learn from the pass,good luck during a big Earthquake and or Tsunami,you will never see me living on a beach like that. And the tall buildings on the shore will go down,because the sand under them will turn into quicksand during a Earthquake. Sounds like a Disneyland commercial for the simply minded, and or arrogant.
This can only be done in a monarchy. Wasting of money.
I was born and raised in Dubai :) proud to be raised in Dubai
This video was posted 15 years ago...and The World is still deserted even in 2022.
Is there a prison?
It would've been more beautiful if it was created by God...
it is amazing to say that, most of humanity's great civilizations were centered in the middle east and Africa.
i fly in Dubai,and i think i like it!! its the most beautiful country in the world!! i love Dubai!!!
an excessive marvel of mans creativity and ability ... if completed, may it remain safe
just imagine it in 20 30 40 years for now... if you can. all of this already is unimaginable until you see it here. My God, Dubai is the dream of future.
Jealousy is a sign of low self-esteem and bad character, might want to remember that next time before you hate on something you'll never have or get to.
I love Dubai! Smashing place for a holiday. When you visit Dubai, though, make sure you stay in the Burj al Arab (VERY expensive!!)
I am from Sweden but I have lived in Dubai for 5 years! GOSH, I want to get back there.. :(
best regards from warsaw, poland!!!!
Dobry wieczór..Bardzo ładne video...Pozdrawiam cieplutko.
I have to say that Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum must be among the greatest leaders to exist in the Islamic world. His majesty is one exceptionally talented leader to terraform a baron landscape into a mega-metropolis! The Islamic world should be proud of Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for exceptional urban craftsmanship! I'll even say that his majesty is my favorite Middle Eastern leader.
dubai is so epic they can't show commercials for it on TV
"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.[2] While the developer and Dubai government deny it, a participant in a related law suit has alleged that the islands are also sinking back into the sea.[2]"
"It started like this. We began to get complaints from people using the beach. The water looked and smelled odd, and they were starting to get sick after going into it. So I wrote to the ministers of health and tourism and expected to hear back immediately - but there was nothing. Silence. I hand-delivered the letters. Still nothing."
OMG this video in 2007! so just come to Dubai in 2012 & see how it is!
a must visit city!
A very nice computer rendered video, but the truth is that only one island has a permanent structure and the rest remain empty and unwanted. To make matters worse, Dubai's Palm projects have changed the offshore currents to the point that the water between the World islands has sat dormant and gone bad.
i was in dubai twice, once with my kids, and other time with my gf,we hug and hold hands, dnt believe trush from some media or some ignorant people :)
I'm floored by the idea that an island can be man-made! What is it on top of?? I want one!
👌😍 Thank you very much for sharing!!
stop complaining about the US and comment on the damn video.
im glad theres a country out there that can build like this and not give a damn like most countries. its sad that most future projects are now scrapped due to the financial crisis, but it is nice to see such a city go through development like this
The "ringleaders" were imprisoned. I try a different question: does Sohinal regret coming? All the men look down, awkwardly. "How can we think about that? We are trapped. If we start to think about regrets..." He lets the sentence trail off. Eventually, another worker breaks the silence by adding: "I miss my country, my family and my land. We can grow food in Bangladesh. Here, nothing grows. Just oil and buildings."
Dubai is the coolest place ever !
50 years ago was a desert, you see now, the most beautiful architecture in the world, beautiful cities and islands, when you think of the best, largest, most beautiful> You mean Saudi Arabia ... I was there and I can say only one the best cities in the world .
This Is amazing work of Engineering Love u dubai...
YAHOO !!! BEAUTIFUL !!! TANKYOU !!! C'EST VRAIMENT TROP BEAU J'AIME !!! MERCI !!! BISOUS
so this is real?!
holyyy crappp... it's GORGEOUS :'O!!
i would look up pictures of it.. thought they were just paintings... this is like heaven:|!!
the people who are hating are just jealous people who dream of owning one but can't and never will!
the narrators voice is epic.
Why do people always think the worst.I think this is a remarkable thing to build and i hope they build it and it works out great.I am sure that when it is done i sure will visit and stay for a couple of weeks.
insane, id like to know how they create solid foundations and piles with the water level so high, quite remarkable
Actually that awkward moment when your wrong and they already made the islands and now there starting construction on the buildings.
There are People that are starving to death, some are running out of water, millions of children work in sweatshops, others are homeless. And then there are people who feel building a tasteless island in the shape of world is necessary. That's why I oppose capitalism.
Dubai will be become worlds biggest attraction site!!!
it is like watching a movie, but its real, these residents are so rich that they don't even have to walk a mile, they get a ride, or have chauffeurs
"I can't talk to you," she said sternly. Not even if it's off the record? "I can't talk to you." But I don't have to disclose your name... "You're not listening. This phone is bugged. I can't talk to you," she snapped, and hung up. The next day I turned up at her office. "If you reveal my identity, I'll be sent on the first plane out of this city," she said, before beginning to nervously pace the shore with me.
Sounds like a scary place to live
Sahinal Monir wrote ""To get you here, they tell you Dubai is heaven. Then you get here and realize it is hell. As soon as he arrived at Dubai airport, his passport was taken from him by his construction company. He has not seen it since."
"If you don't like it, the company told him, go home. "But how can I go home? You have my passport, and I have no money for the ticket," he said. "Well, then you'd better get to work," they replied.
Actually, Dubai's economy is booming, and Dubai gets most of its money from Tourism and real estate. It is similar to what we Americans did with Las Vegas, a land with absolutely nothing, yet we made it into a tourist hotspot where water and food can be imported from all over the world with revenues from the tourism, it is the same with Dubai. The days of the middle east being solely dependent on oil is coming (SLOWLY)to an end.
@TheRightThinker ur right about everything but you r forgetting one major thing: Dubai is a city/state. It doesn't matter if Dubai is in debt as long as Abu Dhabi has there back. And also not 'all' of the water comes from desalination plants, there are some water reseviours (mind my spelling) around the whole country and thats how the people there were surviving before the economic boom (and even though desalination is expensive, it is not as negative as you portray it).
For those saying "ZOMG what if a tsunami comes"... Without risk you cannot succeed. Did the USA stop building after they were hit by the hurricanes? Did Japan stop simply evacuate after the earthquakes? Obviously people have to take in the natural factors but that wouldn't stop them from achieving 'the best'. Furthermore, UAE is really far from any fault lines so its highly unlikely that an earthquake thats big enough to cause a tsunami will reach it.
Thank you.
I wanted to understand how the government of Dubai will react, so I decided to look at how it has dealt with an environmental problem that already exists - the pollution of its beaches. an American, working at one of the big hotels - had written in a lot of online forums arguing that it was bad and getting worse, so I called her to arrange a meeting
@soori20 True, but much more importent is that they did not predict the tides proberly. The islands are simply washing away more and more while the they constantly have to get the sound out of the ground to keep ships able to pass.
That's amazing. Have a nice day
Hello everyone, this project sounds good, a product of talented people who have God given knowledge. But I suggest you visit also Hundred Islands of the Philippines in the province of Pangasinan. This is a natural wonders. Come visit the Philippines. Thanks. No bad comments please.
Yes, its actually true, I don't know the exact percentage but oil makes up LESS than 50% of Dubai's economy.
There's only two downsides with UAE:
1)Human exploitation is common among construction projects, but that is necessary for a country to develop(China is a prime example).
2)During summer, the weather can be extremely hot.
@PresidentZod I couldn't agree more. Although I think more cities should look like it. The architecture and design is wonderful and innovative.
One day, after yet another beating, Mela ran out onto the streets, and asked - in broken English - how to find the Ethiopian consulate. After walking for two days, she found it, but they told her she had to get her passport back from Madam. "Well, how could I?" she asks. She has been in this hostel for six months. She has spoken to her daughter twice. "I lost my country, I lost my daughter, I lost everything," she says.
Thanks for sharing this video nice and informative
I'll leave you with this.
Giant egos are like giant stars. Nothing implodes harder than them.
Think on it.
I went to Dubai and yea its awesume :) We are all complaining about the islands and rich people and dubai n shit...guys i dont know about u but owning one of those islands there and just chilling there must be amazingggggg. I WUD!!!!
Simply breathtaking city.
i went their it was like dream city thry dont have recession now at all; actually wiki dubai they dont have oil all these things are by private investors and buyers are usually western; they are smart in marketing and they are becoming more and more better
The 2008 recession is pretty much the final nail in this project's coffin.
I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this, but the moment a hurricane or tsunami comes, those islands are screwed!
There are numerous ways of distinguishing the continents...
my friend just moved here and it looks nice
todos tenemos sueños pero para mi el MAYOR es conocer DUBAI desde aqui en COLOMBIA....
There sinking. Finally some real meaning into the saying no man is an island
"This is all supposed to be illegal. Employers are meant to pay on time, never take your passport, give you breaks in the heat - but I met nobody who said it happens. Not one. These men are conned into coming and trapped into staying, with the complicity of the Dubai authorities. "
I've been living in the US for over 10 yrs but I really wanna move to Dubai because it seems like a perfect place to live and have a good job. There's actually a lot of Americans who want to move out of their country, the majority of Americans are not rich b/c our govt took away our jobs. Ovbviously you're not talking about the US citizens, youre talking about our govt.
Thanks you so much for sharing
If you're into dystopian novels, you know this is going to be a disaster.
Mela Matari, a 25-year-old Ethiopian woman with a drooping smile, tells me what happened to her - and thousands like her. She was promised a paradise in the sands by an agency, so she left her four year-old daughter at home and headed here to earn money for a better future.
A dream of islands and sea built come true!
Nicely done
Dubai, one of the best!
Dubai is like the perfect place to live
Dubai is so amazing!
now that is NICE !!!
im going there what ever it takes
I ask the Filipino girl behind the counter if she likes it here. "It's OK," she says cautiously. Really? I say. I can't stand it. She sighs with relief and says: "This is the most terrible place! I hate it! I was here for months before I realised - everything in Dubai is fake. Everything you see. The trees are fake, the workers' contracts are fake, the islands are fake, the smiles are fake - even the water is fake!" She got into debt to come here, and she is stuck for three years
Dubai. The world's fastest growing courtry and home of every thing BIG.
not gonna lie...i really wanna go there now
@PrincessAlleyne There are really two things wrong with this.
1. The serious human rights issues and mistreatment of foreign workers
2. The vast investment in real estate and construction where there is no demand for it. Dubai is a city of only 2 million people. It cannot support a skyline like that of NY or Chicago. It might have looked good at first, but when the bubble burst, you sort of realize that investing your wealth in cardboard houses and empty steel frames isn't a good idea.
They are going to have top of the line chef's if they are going to spend million's of dollars on projects like the world islands.
Don't you get the whole point of these videos? The UAE is making a sustainable economy by creating tourist attractions and casinos 7 star hotels and business and so far they have been extremely successful in this process.

the implications of the construction of artificial Islands by the UAE in the Persian Gulf in the large scale change the quality of the water. Experts of international organizations have warned against the destruction of Dubai's sole coral coast and coastal nests of turtles in the first phase of this project. Dubai should be concerned for the long-term viability of the plan.
I am glad i lived there , such beautiful place and people.Now im back to india :-\
The water quality got worse and worse. The guests started to spot raw sewage, condoms, and used sanitary towels floating in the sea. So the hotel ordered its own water analyses from a professional company. "They told us it was full of fecal matter and bacteria 'too numerous to count'
The worst thing living there if u have no food at home - no shopping centre
Dubai is Dubai !!! Dubai will soon be the central place of rest in the world
Was anybody else thinking about Risk while watching this?
