amazing project, right now all the villas look like some industrial facilities but I know it will be better once that shiney black street is layed out and the palms are places and all the other good....

Does anyone know what this hole is for?

It'll look better once they start the landscaping

Do you know if they will fix the outline of the palm island, because now the sand or whatever it is, its just going into the water and look out of order will they add like nice walls around the palm to make a nice outline?

National Geographic said that the ocean currents are being redirected by the Palm. This is causing a deformity in the line of the beach on the mainland. Is there any solution to this problem besides regular refilling of sand on mainland beaches?

dubaiflo · May 21st, 2006, 02:21 PM

no doubt.

there will be no concrete outline since every villa has its private beach (which is not yet in place, it will come with the 55m $ landscape project).

I do think the whole thing is quite amazing that they have managed to do it...bit I think it looks ugly.

At this moment it looks ugly, like I said it looks like a industrial zone, but that 55$ million landscaping project will fix things up for sure.
