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.
