#46: “The World Islands”
The World Islands is a stunning archipelago of small artificial islands, meticulously constructed in the shape of a world map and located in the Persian Gulf waters. This ambitious project showcases Dubai’s knack for bold, visionary developments, offering a remarkable sight from above.

However, the 2008 financial crisis significantly impacted the progress of this grand venture, halting development. As a result, only a few of these islands have been developed, with most remaining vacant or incomplete.
