Dubai's Man-made Islands: Everything You Need to Know
"An archipelago of some 260 small islands laid out like a world map that stalled after the 2008 financial crisis and faced erosion concerns, later partially revived by a themed development (Heart of Europe) that plans six high-end European-style islands due by 2026; visitors can already stay at a French Riviera–inspired hotel on one of the main islands featuring a beach, live entertainment and a climate-controlled street that can simulate rain and snow, reachable by about a 15-minute boat ride from the nearby palms." - Danielle Berman

That's actually so so cool,I visited these islands long ago and I really loved the idea.
The only thing I don't really like is that Europe is very messed up,like the island "Italy" is in Russia and stuff like that.
But beside this,I really liked these.

I went here a couple of years ago for some projects and I must say nothing is impossible in Dubai after visiting here. What a marvelous achievement of human marvels. Huge construction and most of the projects are already operational and you can enjoy holiday with a great views. Absolutely stunning and one of the most admirable places made by humans.

This is a place one should never miss visiting , we booked our day pass from Groupon and headed to this island by a ferry . It was wonderful ferry ride to reach this place. We made so many memorable memories here the pool with bubble bath , the beach the raining street the restaurant everything around makes you forget everything and you just keep on enjoying . We will definitely visit this place again in future .
