Welcome to the World Islands, perhaps the most expensive piece of failed architecture in history.
Dubai is a land full of technology, innovation and - in the case of the World Islands - severe disappointment.
Not long ago, these islands were the talk of the town. Nothing quite like them had ever been constructed, so it’s no wonder that they wound up as the poster-child for nearly every tourism advertisement imaginable.
But after the city funneled a staggering $14 billion into their development, the iconic landmark sat forgotten and abandoned, slowly being overrun by Mother Nature.
So, what happened? Where’d it all go wrong? And is there any hope left for this Dubai icon? Let’s find out.

Perfect example of what happens when you have more money than brains.
Repent to Jesus Christ !!
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

Yup
Not to mention if anyone told them no, they'd disappear.
That can't have any bad side effects on anything. I'm starting to see a trend that rich people are the problem in many things and blame the poor. Lol
@Dnjdjsjshs X7iwjejxi2 And some damn food 😂😅
It does obviously have bad side effects, the sand itself is not brought from the desert, instead it's marine sand. Collecting it fucks up coral reefs which are important. What a waste
Yea it can’t be harmful to dump thousands of pounds of sand on a coral reef 😂😱🥶
bruh, do research, common sense
i don't get it, why poor hate rich ? your comment is itself like blaming , only poor blame others , rich just think what to do next and dont care a shit about bottom dwellers cause you people are brainless , total brainless .
10,000 years from now people of the future will think it was a religious/sacred site.

Is no one ganna talk about why the title says $14 million
I was just about to comment this
£14.billion silly
Dubai could have gave me a million and made me so happy
They would rather spend billions moving rocks
They also could have paid for you to study English, a much more modest investment but invaluable for you.

I have been amazed and completely into the palm island since its beginning. It just blows my mind that something like that can actually be built at sea. Constantly watch videos dreaming of one day visiting such an amazing project
I watched a documentary on it and found it fascinating. But the old biblical story kept coming to my mind that the wise man built his house on solid ground and the foolish man built his house on the sand and the house on the rock stood firm yet the house on the sand fell flat. Lifes all about building on good form foundations Put your faith in God not man where your beable to store up your treasures in heaven that wont rust or decay like thay do on the earth 🙏
2:11 imagine a place you’ve never been and don’t know the size of and multiply by 150.... are you impressed?
It's a humid country they should plant more trees for greenery effect that would look so appealing.
Or change from oil to solar energy? Dubai wants to appear futuristic don't they?
Wow, nice video ❤
The moment I heard of this I said it wasn’t going to work, I would have told them this for just 1 billion and saved them 13 billion
Save them 12 billion not 13 bcoz u took 1 billion to advice them bro
@@tarunmalik301 yes but read the title... it says 14 billion

Wonderful ✨
Why is this titled “14 million” when it is clearly 14 BILLION?
If you poor like me $14 it's like $14 million

It's not a waste, just wait few more years
@@newyorkcity5851 ye until the sea levels rise even further lmao
Failure is the mother of success so even if they fail they'll definitely gonna learn a lot's of things for a price of 13 billion 😏
Not really a waste. That money was never going to go to feed poor people or replant rainforests

I sort of knew from the inception that the World Islands Project would fail, why? The main reason was because Dubai was building too many costly projects at the same time. Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirha, World's biggest Mall, the rail network, Ferrari Amusement park, Dubai International Airport and the likes. Already too many people had invested in these other projects, so injecting money into the world islands was going to be a financially depleting project, which Muhammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum knew but because he already took successful risks, he thought that the world islands project too would be successful.
There are so many things happening in Dubai that not every tourist can afford to do in one visit. Dubai is not competing with any city in world in terms of development and growth. To ensure longevity, they need to tone it down a bit, relax, finish the projects they are doing and market them, reduce their cost of living, for both locals and tourists and it will flourish.
Better yet, stop the dick measuring contest and fix their social issues. Homosexuality is still illegal there, slavery is legal, women can be imprisoned for being raped. Fuck Dubai.
Instead of building homes on them, see if they can grow plants to stave erosion. Then build a utility bridge that runs the parameter, that would double as an outline, defining continents, not necessarily fully around but sections. Then Build the buildings on stilts like the canals of europe, other buildings like floating villages of asia. Then some buildings on isolated islands.
In the title he has written 14 million instead of 14 billion
Very awesome structure building
Dislikes must be from pissed investors who already purchased their island.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can't wait to visit, i'ma have a great time.
Would have been nice to hear something like they spent a billion dollars to build a few schools couple of nice colleges.
So glad the world is “perfect” and there is now billions to spend on audacious things..... oh wait 🙄
*I cant have it so no one should*
What they spend for war this is like 100 dollars that's the real problem and yearly to make it worse atleast this was a one time thing
This is Dubai. Their country has so much wealth that this isn’t an issue there. What would you have Dubai do with the money, just give it away to other countries? That’s never going to happen.
@@CM-ky5go I never even talked about anything ur talkin about ur adding words on things I never said all I said that the guy was trippin on a investment made by Dubai ppl while in america they spend alot of money of bs that dont bring in revenue the ppl who work r the ones creating jobs and opportunities in america while ppl in the office just bullshitting daily and yearly atleast in Dubai they spend money on good things

They look so sad being empty.
Here an idea to get some uses out of them: fill them up with temporary quanrantine accommodations.
Quaraintaine islands!!!!
Or or you can fill them with trees and help against climate change

Interesting
Nope never will I ever sleep under water.. just think of a shark watching you while u sleep

Don't worry you will never afford that
Thanks for thinking about the poor and homeless as well as those needing to be liberated by oppressors.

Let make sky diver holes for when u jump u will be supported by a cushion of air like at nasa and guide u to ur destination
It is only beautiful from very specific viewpoints.
Most of it is horrible ( unless you like malls. If your favourite place is the mall then you will love it )
What is it that the man gains the whole world and lose his soul for eternity. No offence people of God 🙏 be rich with billions of grace,mercy and peace and the love of Jesus Christ.
Preach it! Amen
It is awesome to visit Dubai for vacation
Just go to your local mall. It feels the same
All I can hear in my head is a song I learned in Sunday school....".... the foolish man built his house upon the sand..."
The video suggests that because there was already the well established and thriving Palm Island, the developers should have considered this need filled. First, Dubai is certainly a land for excess. Also, they could have looked at Palm Island as “proof of concept”. Regardless, I hope they took sea level rise into consideration.
I doubt they considered global warming in any of those places.
One day this all will be gone by natural disasters mark my words....so be simple🙏
Yes, I would like to live on one of the Dubai islands if given the opportunity.
Would love to live there
This would drop the sea level technically 🤓
Its called being SO rich that wasting money is fun...
Like those people that pay 40K$ for a private jet trip to get a haircut...
How did the get so much water in the middle of the desert? That's mind blowing
WOOOW 🤗💫🌎
Whatever it's from the sea will return to the Sea
Until there's electricity, I don't see that place becoming "Lit" 😁😁😁
Come to think of it is there sewage laid down either?
Wow that that is amazing what arabic people can do they made very amazing designs keep up the good work 👍
The main reason is that people don't want to travel to Dubai to be trapped offshore and having to travel by boat to get everything or go for dinner. Dubai has amazing restaurants and nightlife and that is the entire point of visiting. The new islands like Palm sold fine as they are connected by a road.
The project wasn’t a failure! It was an amazing idea and it turned out really well, they were fucked up by the 2008 crisis, but if it weren’t for that today we would have 300 fully finished islands!
Who the hell is we 👀

CRYPTO keeps going up and down everyday but all I can say is that, this is still the best time to invest better in it because in few weeks time Bitcoin will be so f**king hot🔥🔥🔥
Most wise investors with crypto uses the opportunity of when there is a drop in the market to buy and trade with
A working strategy and a plan to navigate the system, using the low price in the market to trade daily
Speculating the increase in price, get a working plan today for that profit making.
Fact is(btc)is the future of CRYPTO, and the questions traders ask themselves now is if this is the right time to invest? Before jumping into conclusions I think you should take a good look at things first, foe the past few days the price of Bitcoin has Been fluctuating which means the market is currently unstable.
