The Palm Jebel Ali Water homes
Monday, November 05, 2007

The Waterhomes maintain the same design throughout, and are uniform in appearance, when looking at the master plan. The only difference is its location. They are created in the pattern of a poem and the words written in Arabic around the inner Palm, when read from above the sky, reads as "Take wisdom from the wise - not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey". While some of the houses appear away from the sea, the others are close to the land. While a few houses are open to sea views, the others have shoreline views. However, it is purely the matter of budget and choice.
Located between the Crescent and the Crown of the Pal Jebel Ali, the Water Homes are a range of elevated retreat homes, that resemble bungalows linked to each other with wooden boardwalks to create a 12kms circular chain. There are about 1060 Waterhomes, that boast of luxurious amenities, featuring private moorings for personal boats, which will be an asset for ocean lovers.

Wednesday, October 24, 2007

Only recently, the island of Greece has been sold for $15.5mn dollars to an anonymous bidder in Greece. Depending on the location and size, the islands are priced anywhere between $15mn and $50mn. However, it caters only to the super-rich. The placement of infrastructure is left to the choice of the buyers, and this has resulted in the islands being pursued for residential and tourism purposes.
The only form of transport to the island is by boat and sea plane, hindering access to authorized visitors or residents, and this unique selling point has led to more than 60% of the islands being sold already. Despite the expense, the opportunity to own an island is an idea that can be realized only in few parts of the world, and Dubai is one such place.
