man if it wasnt for Dubai, we wouldnt have heard of all these humongous reclamation projects all over the gulf, its amazing to see how far Dubai's influence is stretching, thats definitely a sign of great success (stardom). "The greatest form of flattery is imitation".

I really like those beach villas, nice and simple.

It has nothing to do with Dubai (the land reclamation fade started in Jeddah long before Dubai), it is a direct copy of Nawras Island. In any case I doubt it will go ahead. The tightened environmental laws, and tougher terms the municipality sets (for example Nawras Island is only licensed as a temporary structure that has to be removed in 15 years time). Which suits me just fine. I'm totally against these kind of projects, there's no justification for them (and their environmental impact), it's not like we're running out of space! Someone has to put a stop on this greed. Nawras Island for example, completely ruined one of the few public beaches in the city.

If it were up to me, I would ban land reclamation outright.

Enough already with the Pearl. Every freakin country in the Gulf has either a Pearl Island, pearl city, pearl tower or pearl mall. There are at least to other similiar projects, qatar's pearl and i think bahrain has this island pearl or something.

Another thing, correct me if im wrong, but was jeddah ever big in the pearling industry. I was never aware that the red sea had much pearl.

HiJazzey you are so very right. Land reclamation annoys me so
much. I think to ruined is not enough. They ruined one and establish
another 10. They should ban them.

YES Qatar4Ever enough with Pearl they should call it Olive Touch
Island ;). At the end it is only a name. Another name for Jeddah is Paris of
Arabia because of the Art & sculptures while it does look nothing like Paris.
So it is only a name!

Ahmedr happy you liked it. Still I strongly disagree with you.
Like HiJazzy said we had the artificial island before Dubai, we are
defiantly not imitating Dubai. It is not of a big deal to me.

There is another one was there from 84 but I forgot the name of it.
For example Al Nawras been in Jeddah before they started The Palm!
