The first island on The World Dubai

Nakheel, the exclusive resort, which could cost members up to $10,890 a year to join, is in a way looking forward to capitalize on the Dubai development’s potential as a tourism destination. Located around 30 minutes by water taxi from the Dubai shoreline, the island has a total area of 39,000 sq m, 17,000 sq m of which will be used to build the facilities and amenities. A restaurant for up to 100 diners, 50 beach loungers along the coast, eight cabanas and eight luxury log-cabin style changing rooms with showers, a lounge area and entertainment facilities will be included in the resort.

The perfect place for conducting functions, launches and weddings with a 24 sq m circular area for up to 500 people is the island. The island will also be fully licensed to serve alcoholic beverages. The water around the island can accommodate up to 40 medium-sized yachts off its coast and its pontoon can handle yachts of up to 80 foot in length.

Indian entrepreneur Wakil Admed Azmi, owned luxury resort, will be the first attraction on The World to open to the public after Dubai’s property crash dealt a blow to the development. The island of Lebanon and the construction work has hit $16.3 million. Nakheel plans to offer tourists day and dinner cruises around The World as it moves to reposition the project as a tourism destination. The island also has plans to create 500 artificial reefs around Dubai in an effort to regenerate marine life around the emirate’s coastline, and aid the local fishing industry.
