Dubai is no stranger to ambitious projects. At the turn of the year, the Emirate announced that it would undertake a US $1.6 billion man-made island development, featuring the world’s largest Ferris wheel, and construction of the city’s aspiring climate-controlled ‘The World Islands’ is said to be well underway. Place these projects alongside the glittering Burj Khalifa and iconic, sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, and you soon get a clear idea of what tourism in Dubai is all about; the bigger, bolder and brighter, the better.
Which leads us neatly to Dubai’s latest creative creation: Falconcity of Wonders. Located between the seven emirate states, and shaped like the United Arab Emirates’ falcon emblem, this 41 million square foot development includes recreations of various iconic global landmarks – including the Pyramids of Giza, Great Wall of China and Paris’ Eiffel Tower. Boasting an incredible variety of five-star hotels, luxury residential units and entertainment areas, Falconcity looks fit to rival the Vegas strip.
