UAE, Dubai
The artificial archipelago, consisting of several islands, with a general shape resembling the continents of the Earth, is located 4 kilometers from the coastline of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The world islands are created mainly from the sand of the shallow coastal waters of Dubai and are another artificial archipelago in the vicinity of the administrative center of the emirate of Dubai.
The main developer of The World project is Nakheel. The idea of ​​creating such an archipelago belongs to the Crown Prince of the emirate and the Minister of Defense of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
The total area of ​​the archipelago is 55 square kilometers, making it the largest artificial archipelago in the world. The size of the islands varies from 14 thousand to 83 thousand square meters, the width of the straits between them is from 50 to 100 meters with a depth of 8 to 16 meters.
Mir is connected to the mainland only by water and air. The complex is protected from large waves by an artificially erected breakwater. Water supply and electricity comes from the mainland. In order to preserve the flora and fauna of the Persian Gulf, reefs were built around the islands, and special treatment facilities were installed to avoid stagnant water.
It is planned that "Mir" will become an elite community, which will consist of selected inhabitants of the Earth, service personnel and tourists, the total number of which will not exceed 200 thousand people.

Well, what can we say about this mini land (P. S. I would not say that it is "mini"): We came here on the advice of our guide, who spoke Russian and brought us here in a 7-seater minivan. We were there before sunset from the Burj Khalifa, my family and I did not understand very well what it was, but the impressions were amazing. From the helicopter it was noticeable that this place is like an atlas of the world, there was one lush green on white. There was nothing on the empty island yet, but I would like to see this strange place in a few years, I wonder how much it will change.
