Secondly, all projects like this that attempted to get off the ground in Al Ain failed, even during Dubai’s hayday. This is because there is nothing out in Al Ain, no jobs, no business besides from some run down shanty shops, just nothing.

Thirdly, Dubai has failed bigtime over the last year. They can’t sell anything which is why property prices and rentals have plumetted. If Dubai has proven to be a failure, how can a development in a city 100 times worse than Dubai succeed?

Finally, the majority of the development is a lame copycat attempt to reproduce Abu Dhabi’s Masdar development, without all the zero carbon initiatives. I swear that the images of this development have just been slightly altered from the Masdar development pictures. It’s a shame that everything in the United Arab Emirates is just either a copy of another “iconic” development, whether in the UAE or another country, or just a complete disaster, eg having raw sewage dumped into the ocean right infront of the Burj Al Arab hotel so that tourists can swim in absolute filth.
