Welcome to a world where luxury knows no bounds and deserts turn into paradise! The companies Emaar and Eagle Hills, led by the powerful Mohamed Alabbar, aren’t just building structures — they’re crafting wonders of modern civilization in the heart of the Middle East. With 90 hotels, 17 shopping malls, and thousands of luxury apartments, Emaar’s name is everywhere in Dubai. Their investments over the past 30 years have soared to a staggering trillion dollars, and each project brings not just buildings but jobs and development to surrounding areas.
Imagine Rashid Yachts Marina — the heart of Dubai, sprawling over 2.29 million square meters, with nearly 9,000 residential units and countless retail outlets. Or Ramhan Island in Abu Dhabi, a luxury resort with over 1,000 villas, where prices reach up to ten million dollars! And don’t forget Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping center, boasting over 1,200 stores and an aquarium with sharks swimming inside.
Of course, there’s also Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on Earth, a symbol of modern Dubai that attracts tens of thousands of tourists annually. Dubai Creek Harbour and Dubai Hills Estate aren’t just projects — they’re cities of the future, blending luxury, nature, and smart technology.
But it’s not all glitz and glam. This grand transformation raises questions: Who really profits? Is this just a fairy tale for the rich while ordinary people stay in the shadows? And how sustainable is this luxury in the desert? Got thoughts or just want to chuckle at these architectural marvels? Drop a comment — Dubai and Abu Dhabi are ready for your critique!
