حذرت الفعاليات الاقتصادية في الإمارات من خطورة تسريب معلومات عن مشاريع وهمية لا وجود لها وتسويقها للمستثمرين في الإمارات ، مشددة على ضرورة توخي الحيطة والحذر قبل الإقدام على الاستثمار في أي مشروع عقاري أو سياحي قبل التأكد من سمعة الشركة صاحبة المشروع وكذلك دراسات الجدوى ، والتأكد من وجود كافة الأوراق والمستندات التي تثبت وجود هذه الشركة وان ما تطرحه من مشاريع له وجود حقيقي.
وطالبت هذه الفعاليات المستثمرين بالحصول على الضمانات الكافية التي تحمي استثماراتهم ولا توقعهم ضحية لعمليات احتيال ونصب ، مؤكدين على أن سمعة الشركات وسجلاتها في مجال الاستثمار على مدى السنوات السابقة يمثلان أهمية كبيرة كمصدر ثقة لدى المستثمرين.
وأشارت إلى أن وجود التراخيص والموافقات الحكومية تشكل ضمانة أساسية لأي مشروع إلى جانب دراسات الجدوى التي تثبت نجاح المشروع من فشله. وأن المستثمر لابد ان يطلع على هذه الأوراق جميعها قبل اتخاذ قرار الشراء ، و شددت على ضرورة الحرص على تنقية السوق من أي محاولات لطرح مشاريع وهمية أو مشبوهة لأن مثل هذه المشاريع يمكن أن تضر بسمعة السوق بأكمله.
وقد أشار الخبراء في قطاع العقارات الإماراتي إلى أن القطاع العقاري في الإمارات يعد من أكثر القطاعات تطورا بالعالم و قد أصبح له معايير ومقاييس عالمية حاسمة الأمر الذي يجعلهم أكثر حرصا على حماية هذا السوق والحرص على هذه السمعة العالمية ، كما أشارت هذه المصادر إلى أن الشركات المحلية الكبرى حققت مصداقية وسمعة كبيرة بعد المستوى الراقي الذي نفذت به مشاريعها في السنوات الأخيرة.
من جهته أكد سلطان بن سليم الرئيس التنفيذي لمؤسسة الموانئ والجمارك والمنطقة الحرة الملاك في الإمارات على أن العقار في أي دولة يعتبر من أهم الاستثمارات ويجب ان يحمى بكافة الوسائل لعدم الإضرار بالاقتصاد الوطني موضحا أن وقوع بعض الملاك في شباك الشركات العقارية الاستثمارية الوهمية سينعكس سلباً على المشاريع الاتحادية الحقيقية فعليا مسئولية كبيرة تجاه المالك وضمان تحقيق رغبته في التملك في مشاريع حقيقية.
وأكد أن دقة المعلومات مطلوبة حتى أثناء الإعلان عن المشاريع الاستثمارية في وسائل الإعلام المختلفة من خلال التأكد من ترخيص عمل الشركات لضمان نقل معلومات دقيقة للمشاريع المطروحة.
وكانت حكومة دبي قد نفت أمس صحّة ما نشر في بعض الصحف المحلية الإماراتية الثلاثاء الماضي حول مشروع سياحي استثماري سيتم تنفيذه محلياً في المستقبل القريب. وأكدت على لسان مصدر مسؤول في تصريح لوكالة أنباء الإمارات أن ما يسمى بمشروع " الدرّة " أو" الجوهرة " لا وجود له في أجندة الاستثمارات المستقبلية المنوي تنفيذها في إمارة دبي سواء على المدى المنظور أو المدى البعيد.

يعني المشروع يمكن يكون وهمي يلة تارجمو للانجليزي

the largest pyramid on earth? as far as i know the cheops pyramid in giza is 240m high!!!

and i'm totally convinced once the details will be released this will be the most amazing project in the gulf region! if not worldwide!

"Yoharah chose Dubai, United Arab Emirates for its corporate offices because the Emirate is an international communication hub. It also has the necessary infrastructure and policies to support commercial business. "
“The Jewel will undoubtedly be a tourism magnet wherever it is located,”

no hint yet
But i really hope Dubai

wep so its going to be massive !
sure it that all
think its 140

you're right
cheops pyramid is 147m tall and 230m wide

still big :)

DUBAI-LOVER is thas PROJECT in dubai ?????????

we dont know yet

yes, unfortunately we don't know yet
but i'm convinced it will be either in bahrain, qatar or dubai

i mean who else could be this crazy to build something like this???

it should only be a matter of days, as more info should have been published on cityscape. it will be presented today i think
maybe giles has something when he comes back this evening?

if it will be really announced on cityscape it will be in the news tomorrow, saturday or sunday

Almost certain it's going to be in Dubai.

thas Project cam in alkhaleej Newspaper last weak it weal bi in dubai

هذه المشروع نزل في جريدة الخليج انه بيسوه في دبي قبا اسبوع وفي اليوم الثاني نفة حكومة دبي بوجود مشروع اسمه الجوهرة وحذرة من الشركات الوهمية بس اعتقد انه اعلنو عنه رسمي في المواتمر
تارجموه للنجليزي
^_^

you sure?
because there has never been a press release unveiling the location?
maybe this text also means the location of yohara's office, which will be in dubai?

Emirates_ME - هاهاها. والله ضحكتني. إن شاء الله بترجم

:D

Emirates_ME posted an article by al-Khaleej newspaper and he's asking for it to be translated. The article says that the authorities in Dubai have warned investors in the property development sector from "imaginary" companies that have no real existence, and which might be involved in fraud. The authorities warn that any such case of fraud will affect all the developments in the emirate, including real projects. The protection of investors is the top priority, and the Dubai authorities state that the project called "al-Durrah" or "al-Yoharah" (The Jewel) has no place in the development of Dubai, or in its future.

In another post, Emirates_ME says that the newspaper announced the project a while ago, and this statement followed it the next day.

I dont find this very original (themed) project: various themes from the world... like in Las Vegas.

What would people look from Arabian peninsula? Statue of Liberty? I dont think so...
Rebuild Babylonia... maybe?

in Las Vegas everything is tiny mini moo http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/k/squeeze.gif

They still didn't decide the location.. they basically looking logistics facilities..

My list of countries, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya and Abu Dhabi. Also they received European Offers.... maybe Dubai but they already denied this project..."I heard that Dubai preparing for new big project that will be between the city and Dubailand and it will be unveil in next January" http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/s/asthanos.gif

I think this project would be a failure, and it'd be sad if Abu Dhabi accepted it, since they seem to always be the targets of fraud and embezzlement.

the project is so silly, its fantasy and has impressive elements, but im not too sure of it at the end of the day.

Hey AMDXL do you mean jan 2005 or jan 2006?
R

If anyone has read the city times today you will notice on pg 4 or 5 you will see pics of ppl attending the launch of the jewel. no location has been given I am assuming the jewel will be in dubai since it was launched in dubai. why would ppl lauch projects for their own country in other countries?!? so there we go, it will in dubai!
R

Oh and the project is called Yoharah

isn't the company's name yoharah?

this thing is driving me crazy
when will there be the official launch with the final location
we can't be far away from the release date i think

it will be in dubai if there is enough room for it

yesterday was the OFFICIAL launch of Yoharah. It was launched at MADINAT JUMERIAH yesterday. since it was launched in DUBAI it is more than LIKELY to be in dubai.
R

Yoharah is the Arabian peninsula slang pronunciation of Joharah (like the Germans, we say Y for J), and the word means 'jewel' in Arabic.

The government of Dubai denied that this project will ever be built in Dubai, so just because the launch was there it doesn't mean it's going to be in Dubai.

A new company is behind it, and they're not too sure that they can be trusted.

there were too many news about, so it can't be a fake
it also has an official homepage

why should such a proposed and discussed project be cancelled
i don't think all this was a massive set up

that it has been launched in the madinat doesn't mean anything
there are a couple of projects being announced abroad

so, still a big question mark over our heads

well there are always takes and risk to investor dubai seems to great target with all that is going hope. But I hope it is not.
Remeber the Other Project the GOld Dome one or what ever it was turned out to be fake ?

its real, its in Dubai and I have sent a pic to dennis

well i dont wanna douth it like most people here
but even with every thing i have seen in dubai
i was reserve my self a little with some of these things
just hard to take this all in

giles YOU DA MAN!!!!! :)

here's a model of the project, just partially

it is the very first model and masterplan, so i'm sure there will be some more additions to it over the time

http://www.ayuplanet.com/dxblover/The Jewel/The Jewel Model.jpg

mother o !

Omg!!!

wowowoooo coooooooooooool

DUBAI-LOVER is thas PROJECT in dubai ?????????

well giles has said it will be in dubai
it was showcased at cityscape conference

mate confirm this please :D
we don't trust you here ;)

That is the New York zone with half size ESB and statue of liberty. There are many other themed zones like egypt and france etc. Its a bigger version of Nakheels International city.

so is it definitely gonna be in Dubai?

stil not dense enough to NYC will they make more towers in the project later :)
jsut a idea for later

HOW HEIGHT THE liberty IN NEW YORK ????

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~xuh/Liberty.jpg

Hey since the Dubai Mountain City is modelled on the hanging gardens of babolyn maybe its part of the Yoharah (the jewel) as the said " its part of a bigger structure". maybe they meant to say project but they couldnt.
anywho, I emailed them last week and the replied saying they cannot disclose its location ant this time. but they said they would let me know.
R

These are the Hanging Gardens I see from the model:

http://www.ayuplanet.com/images/jewelbabylon.jpg

Does it look 300 m high and 650 m wide? How high would that make the buildings nearby?

hmmh, wasn't that supposed rise from the sea? that hanging gardens above doesn't rise from the sea.

so this is another hanging gardens for dubai :D

(oh, btw, mountain city "is inspired by hanging gardens" so it doesn't necessarily mean that the mountain city would exactly look a like hanging gardens)

Ok this doesnt make sense... Why does Dubai need this project AND the International City? One mega project with an international theme isnt enough for one city? On top of that Dubai Land itself has some projects with international themes. This project is similar to the Palm Deira.... both are absolutely not needed in Dubai. I hope they cancel this project and invest the money in something more productive.

I think this project may be the same as the "the Pearl" (the one on the major projects pdf) that is out to sea in front of JBR.

What do you guys think? Probably renamed it to "The Jewel" because "The Pearl" causes so much confusion!

I also agree that this is too much, esp with Palm Deira being so big.

http://www.ayuplanet.com/projects/thepearl.jpg

But why would the Dubai Municipality have it drawn on their projects map a long time before, if it's not going to be approved, as the Dubai Government said?

But the circular part in the middle of the Jewel model is consistent with a pearl.

HOW HEIGHT THE liberty IN NEW YORK ????

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~xuh/Liberty.jpg




The height from ground to the tip of the torch is 305 feet (93 meters); this includes the foundation and the pedestal. The height of the statue itself, from the top of the base to the torch, is 151 feet (46 meters).
__________________

this is still very diff from international city !
international city has many different features and is very low rise res porject this its self is a mach larger project that is trying to capture world land marks of past and present !

Mushrif Park had its own mini international city ages ago, with all those little houses with designs from all over the world.

It is almost definitely not the pearl for the many reasons, one of which is the one BullDozerGirl mentioned and the other is that if you look at the renderings on the project's website you'll see that the project is sandwiched between 4 highways and it's very obvious that its inland and not reclaimed land.

just confusion right here

krazy - compared to this international city will be a kindergarden :D
i'm also sure the jewel has nothing to do with the pearl and mountain city

I agree, just like compared to Palm Deira, Palm Jumeriah will be a "kindergarden", but what I'm tryin to say here is Dubai is going overboard in my opinion with an excess of unneccessary mega projects one after the other with similar or strikingly same themes ! Anyway I know most people won't agree with me on this one and will want this project to be built in Dubai. My advise - use that money somewhere else wisely in a more creative project. (Example: Go ahead with the largest residential resort in the world, just get a more creative theme which doesnt remind us of themes repeated over and over again)

Peace

Thanks for the reponse BulldozerGirl - that picture is exactly why I had this crazy idea in the first place. Have no idea why the Dubai Gov. have said that too. Maybe adding to the hype?

BTW Ahmedr - You are correct. The Dubai Pearl is inland, however I was talking about "The Pearl" as per Bulldozergirl's picture!

If anyone has anymore info on "The Pearl" then please let me know!

Cheers,

:)

I agree with you, I hate the Palm Deira, wish they could cancel it, it's so boring and doesn't look like a palm tree. They might as well named it "Deira Island"

Quote: "BTW Ahmedr - You are correct. The Dubai Pearl is inland, however I was talking about "The Pearl" as per Bulldozergirl's picture!"

I know thats what you meant and that's the pearl that I was talking about too, and if you read my post carefully you will see that I meant that the Jewel (not the pearl) seemed inland from renderings on its website which means it cant be on the Pearl you were talking about because its reclaimed land. Not a big deal anyway.

I'm fascinated by all the projects in Dubai, but it makes me wonder if Dubai isn't going a little too far. All these mega-projects make it seem like Dubai has an incredibly fragile economy. Most of the major projects in Dubai (including already-built ones) are basically for the rich, and my guess is that most of the residents would be foreigners.

It just seems like that is a very dangerous place to take a growing economy. Buildings super-resorts and estates for the wealthy is not really "growth" in the usual sense. I'd expect some of this as a result of growth, but not instead of it. Also, if things happen to turn bad in the region at some point, Dubai will be completely ruined. I pray that doesn't happen.

Now, I'm no economist, and I hope I'm completely wrong about this. I suppose the only way these projects could constitute real growth is if we believe in a trickle-down theory, like Reganomics! I don't think trickle-down really works though. A lot of the money and products going to the rich will only benefit the lower classes marginally, and even if it did work, it would mean turning Dubai into a city where there are a number of rich people, and a huge mass of poor people who exist only to serve the rich. That can't be good.

Ahmedr - I have looked carefully at the http://www.thejewelresort.com website and am still none the wiser as to it's location and cannot see the 4 highways you have told me about. Can you post the pic you are referring to?

Does anyone know where and when this project will be built?

Cheers

dcb11 - Good point. This kind of growth in Dubai makes the rich richer.

There are a lot of cultural implications, and a lot of people agree that things have gone too far with some projects like the Palm Deira or whatever else.

A lot of people today mention the story of how the late Sh. Rashid insisted on building a huge port, and everyone thought he was crazy, but it turned out that he was right about the need. Sh. Mohammed is doing the same now, so he will keep going until everyone says it's too much. But I think this time, he won't be proven right in time. At least not with some of these projects.

@ SunnyS, I dunno how to extract pics out of a flash movie, but if you go to the main overview page on the jewel website and you open the slideshow, if you look carefully you'll see highways or wide streets at the perimeter of the project (more obvious in the colored picture). You would expect there to be seawater bordering the project if it was an offshore one because it would be a better idea to surround an offshore project with beaches rather than streets from all 4 sides.

I hope this is the pic you are referring to:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid150/p3f9a84d5cfc1b7de5559c140054e71ab/f5eb675f.jpg

Still looks like a pearl to me!!! :jk:

Would love to know where this will be located!

Dubai-Lover - did you email the developer?

Regards,

Sunny

oops, no, sorry totally forgot that
did somebody else contact them?
if not i'll try tomorrow

but i don't see any highways in the masterplan render

this is the reply!
wow they are honest!!!!

Good Day, Mr. Hartman

Thank you for your enquiry about the Jewel. At the moment, we are not in a position to provide further detail on the specifics of the development, however your contact details have been included in our mailing list and we will be providing you with information as soon as they become available.

Regards

That's great, Dubai-Lover. Thanks for contacting them. Be sure to keep us up-to-date on any emails you get from them!

Good going Dubai_lover.

Yes thats the rendering I'm talking about SunnyS, thanx for posting it, amazing render and you can see there are roads surrounding the project, maybe not highways but they sure look really long.

i heard by many people that this is a fake project

Thanks DL for emailing the developer! Reply wasn't brilliant but at least honest!

COTF - Yeah, I am also coming to the conclusion that the Jewel is either fake or on hold...only time will tell. :)

STILL some thing back is good enough for now

الجوهرة اعاجيب العالم في مكان واحد
تخيل انك تستطيع رؤية الاهرامات وتاج محل وحدائق بابل المعلقة وبرج ايفيل بالحجم الطبيعي وفي مكان واحد


يمتد المشروع على مساحة 16 مليون متر مربع 16 كم مربع وعلنت شركة يوهور , التي تتخذ من دبي مركزا لها انها تتفاوض حاليا مع عدد من الدول المهتمه في استضافة المشروع الذي سيستقطب , وفقنا للقامين عليه , السياح من مختلف اقطار العالم اينما تم انشاؤه

وعلى الرغم من ان المكان الذي سيحتضن هذا المشروع لم يتفق علية بعد
الا ان دبي من المرشحين الاقوياء الى جانب عدد من الدول الاخرى مثل السعودية واسبانيا


مظهر اختر , الرايس التنفيذي لشركة يوهوة
المطور للمشروع اختار دبي موقا لشركتة
التي تعد بان تصبح واحدة من كبريات الشركات المطورة في المنطقه

ولعلة بذلك يتطلع الى تنفيذ مشروعة ضمن دبي لاند او بلد عربي اخر



تقول ربيكا , مصممة المشروع

سيكون مشروع الجوهرة محور سياحي رئيسي للبلد الذي سيفوز به ,
وربما لن تفوت دبي فرصة احتضانه

I think it would be good to see this going up in another Emirate. Dubai is getting all of the attention nowadays. Why not nearby Sharjah?

Anyway, my favorite part is Petra. While some of the areas may seem a little cliche, Petra looks very original.

Can somebody translate Emirate ME's post, thanks :)

Petra World is original
is there not already one ?

yes, petra is original
i once read an article in national geographic mag and it's beautiful

i think it's located in jordan, not sure, but this area

all the buildings are built into sand stone rocks and have lots of ornaments in their design!! amazing!

:nuts: I think this project is a scam, if it is a real project it may not succeed unless it’s a casino

Ok can some1 explain to me this
theyre plannin on this themed project, and they want to build a replica of mahatten?
so basically rebuild buildings that are already there?
i mean las vegas used the themes.. but this is ridiculous coz its like repeating existing construction...whts the point?
if it was in dubailand..fine..but meh

Nah maybe just the Statue of Liberty not Manhattan. A replica of Manhattan means hundreds towers, a central park and yellow taxis!!!!

They should stick to the World's Wonders only and that's what I think they would do – if it is going to happen.

the jewel PROJECT FOR SALE http://skyscrapercity.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

:D

hmmh, maybe now they would tell where this project will be located...

Emirates ME, how do you know? Source?

the homepage says so
http://www.thejewelresort.com/Homepage/

it was so quiet the last weeks/months

are they just selling the domain or what? whatever this is supposed to mean :sly:

Dunno, very strange! Doesnt look like they're selling any property, they would've added a link or some offline contact information, most likely its the domain name they're selling, but still why would they?

They are looking for someone to buy the idea/masterplan maybe and make the project on his own

very weird indeed
what do these people think? "for sale" :doh:

confused me

Nakheel has launched sales of The Jewel of the Palm, exclusive apartments with stunning views located on The Palm, Jumeirah. Chairman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem said this is a fitting climax to the extraordinary story of Palm, Jumeirah. It symbolises the height of luxurious living on the island, he said.

im guessing the firm created this idea, set up in dubai in hope of selling to emmar or nakheel or anyone for that matter. but because of other projects being done in dubai it was superflous, and rejected. Now they are taking their idea on the road to see who will bite. hence 'for sale'

FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!!!

The person behind this project, a British man of Pakistani origine, was arrested since January 6th on property freud. He has stolen more then 3 milion USD from different expats, selling them an imaginary property in Spain.

He was wanted for the same crime in Europe, at least from norway but there he had stolen more then 30 miion.

It was on the cover of 7 Days

:wtf:

it was even in the news and at cityscape

so what about it now?? has the project officially been cancelled??

PANIC!

He was arrested here in Dubai

http://www.7days.ae/_Images/20050201/home_swindler.jpg

HELD: Maz Akhtar
A man wanted in Europe for alleged property fraud has been arrested and held in Dubai on charges of swindling potential investors out of huge sums. Maz Akhtar, a British national of Pakistani origin was arrested after allegedly taking deposits amounting to several million dollars from Dubai residents for developments in Spain and Dubai, neither of which exist.

About 25 Dubai residents, all expatriates, have made investments with Akhtar’s companies amounting to more than three million euros ($3.9 million), according to Anton Milan, a lawyer representing some of his alleged victims.

Akhtar allegedly began touting a fictional development called Reserva de Miraflores in Spain to Dubai investors in November of 2003. He described the development as one million square metres of low-rise apartments, villas and townhouses surrounded by “spacious landscaped gardens, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a private nine-hole golf course”. One Dubai investor, who did not want to be named, told 7DAYS last night how he had deposited a large sum with Akhtar, but then heard nothing for months.

Previously, Akhtar had been selling the same imaginary development off-plan in Norway until his company there, HK Inversiones Norway, went bust leaving hundreds of investors trying to recoup money they had entrusted to him.

More than 300 Norwegian investors spent $23 million on a variety of Akhtar’s schemes, including the Spanish property proposition. Norwegian newspapers say it could be one of the biggest cases of alleged fraud in the country’s history.

Akhtar sold his developments through free seminars in the Middle East, including Dubai. He set up a company, HK Dubai, in offices in Palm Strip, Jumeirah, which are no longer occupied. He has also set up another company, called Yoharah, offering a project in Dubai called The Jewel.

But Dubai Municipality released a note on 23 November 2004 warning that the project was not live, and that no permission had been given for it. Akhtar has been in police custody at Bur Dubai Police station since he was arrested early last month, a police source confirmed yesterday. “Akhtar was put in police custody in January 6 after he was arrested. We do not know when he is going to be tried,” the source said. He confirmed Akhtar was charged with money swindling.

http://www.7days.ae/20050201/Local/Fraud.arrest.asp

unbelievable, but with what is going on in dubai it seemed to be a perfect plan. nobody has doubted this project, if there were only more articles on this!

:ohno:

project is fake!!!

So now, slowly slowly you can lock this thread and even delete it.

No, don't delete it, lock at it most, the information in this thread is still interesting

Gulf News didn't report this..interesting

:bash: :bash: :bash:

Well with the market like it is bound to be afew projects like this that take advantage of the hype and greed in the property market
Very sad as i guess it would be mostly smaller investors that would fall for this

:lol:
website down :hilarious

Im glad this project was a fake. Dubai doesnt need something like this! Great attempt by the fake developer though... he had an office on SZR and everything :D

so wat happens to the people who invested there.

so wat happens to the people who invested there.

i guess they were fooled, and dubai got the money. lol :bash: :jk:

lol
i think this was a joke
the bastard took the money but they have arrested him already earlier this year

really. who was he?

an article about his other fake project in spain


Spain proves an attractive investment destination

The reasoning is quite simple as housing prices climbed between 15 and 50 per cent in Spain depending on the location in 2003. The upturn is expected to last for a while with Spain's economy recording one of the fastest growth rates in Europe.

The South of Spain looks particularly alluring, according to Maz Akhtar, chief executive of Hk Inversiones, the property and investment company.


"The Costa del Sol is tipped for soaring prices, with yearly growth rates of 25 per cent witnessed in the last few years alone," said Akhtar.


"People living in the Middle East tend to have disposable income and are looking to invest wisely, but current financial markets can be volatile. Property is the ideal choice for a sound investment, because it is a tangible asset and house prices in many markets are soaring.


Since property prices are fuelled by non-resident income, strong markets are those with high rates of foreign investment."


According to current market data, the Spanish property market is projected to continue increasing in value over at least the next five to ten years. If this is the case then rental prices generally will increase.


Hk's are the promoters of the Reserva de Miraflores resort, located on the Costa del Sol's New Golden Mile. Reserva de Miraflores is completely freehold. The common areas surrounding the villas and apartments is owned and maintained by HK for a nominal monthly fee.


Dagados Construction Co is handling the Reserva project and construction will begin in January 2004 with the flags and signage up early February. Phase 1 will be completed in 24 months, Phase 2 will be completed in 36 months and Phase 3 and 4 will be completed in 48 months. So, basically the whole gated urbanisation will be complete in five years.


The villas and town houses will go onto the market in about two to three years, according to the HK official. "We are finding that our purchasers are a large mix. Some people want holiday homes only for their use; some want to buy to rent for a few years and then perhaps move in themselves; some want to retire and have it as their first home; some are looking purely for investment and resale opportunities.

Happy to learn that it’s a fake project, I had my doubts but then now I have the confirmation. Being at cityscape it means nothing for 2-3000 euro you can have a stand in many expo around the world it’s nothing compared to the millions he stole, having an internet website I can create one in 30min and it cost nearly nothing to host the website.

Having a press release and the media taking about the project there is nothing more easily obtained according to my experience.

you're right, nothing easier than that

it's dubai, so the project was possible and if it had been announced by sh. mohammed it would have been built.

i also was full of doubts concerning this projecr. what has really set me up was that this has not been announced by mohammed, who launches every new project!

you're right, nothing easier than that

it's dubai, so the project was possible and if it had been announced by sh. mohammed it would have been built.

i also was full of doubts concerning this projecr. what has really set me up was that this has not been announced by mohammed, who launches every new project!

Well at the best place he did not have the money for the unoriginal project and he dreamed that some one will give 2-3 billions Euro for it.

now in general obtaining a press release is easy and not only in dubai just rent a meeting room in a hotel invite a number of journalist and then you can be sure that some one will take about your project in the media.

if you dont have enough money to rent a meeting room and inviting the journalist ect..
Just make a good press release make sound attractive and send it to the media by mail and you will be suprised on the attention you will get from the media.
Of course if you would like to use the media to ask a girl for :cheers: marriage then a press release will not work you should have an original project.
