Burj Dubai is going to be the world\'s tallest skyscraper by 2008. The final height is kept in secret, but it will be at least 705m tall (and could reach 950m), while the current world\'s tallest stands at 509m (Taipei 101)
The World Islands, are a collection of man-made islands shaped into the continents of the world, located off the coast of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It will consist of 300 small private artificial islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. [Mehr] [Weniger]
As seen on 60 Minutes Dubai Inc. reported by Steve Kroft.
The Biggest Story in the World --- Dubai - home of the world\'s largest construction site and one of the most amazing stories in our world today.
While millions flock to Dubai annually, from an American perspective it\'s \"the Middle East we don\'t know\".
Still surrounded in misunderstanding by so many in the US, the massively positive story of Dubai and Middle East 2.0 is the real story of change in the Gulf.
It is a story of peaceful, constructive excellence and the pursuit of dreams. A story very much in line with true American values.
Dubai is a city in the emirate of Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE in the Persian Gulf. The UAE is part of the GCC, Gulf Cooperative Council, an economic group of nations along the lines of the European Union (EU). The GCC includes the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
The growth in Dubai is representative of the growth in the region. While many in America associate the Arab world, the Middle East, the Gulf or sadly Islam and Muslims with terror and terrorism, war and violence, the real story of the Middle East is what is going on with construction, commerce, art, development and millions of people making a better life for themselves.
There is clearly a big difference between the perceptions of Iraq or other areas in the region and reality. Some people tend to think that Iran, the UAE, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are all the same - the region is as varied as the Americas.
Richard Branson, Tiger Woods, Martha Stewart, Madonna and Donald Trump all have business ventures in Dubai. The area is known mostly for real estate but many other projects continue there daily.

Unscheinbare Produkte, enorme Renditen. Mit dieser schlichten Formel bezaubert die K+S-Gruppe schon länger die Börsen. Der Kassler Konzern nutzte den allgemeinen Rohstoffboom geschickt. So kaufte das Unternehmen im Juni 2006 den zweitgrößten südamerikanischen Salzproduzenten Sociedad Punta de Lobos (SPL) und stieg damit zum "Global Player" auf. In einem gigantischen Tagebaubetrieb in der Atacama-Wüste, 600 Kilometer nördlich der chilenischen Hauptstadt, gewinnt die neue Tochter sehr kostengünstig Steinsalz. Im firmeneigenen Seehafen nahe der Stadt Iquiquie wird das Salz verschifft. Durch den Kauf von SPL ist der Umsatz von K+S im Salzgeschäft auf einen Schlag um mehr als 50% gewachsen. Damit stieg das Kasseler Unternehmen - dass seine Salzaktivitäten bisher auf Europa konzentriert hatte - zum echten "Global Player" auf. Als neue Absatzgebiete will K+S vor allem Südamerika und Südostasien entwickeln. Gemeinsam mit Karl-Georg Mielke, dem Projektleiter für K+S in Chile, verfolgen die MiG Reporter Patrick Benning und Alexa Meyer die Gewinnung des "weißen Goldes" - mitten im Nirgendwo.

AMSTETTEN, Austria (Reuters) - A 73-year-old Austrian man has confessed to imprisoning his daughter in a windowless cellar for 24 years and fathering her seven children, police said on Monday. A 42-year-old woman had told police on Sunday that her father, Josef Fritzl, lured her into the basement of the block where they lived in the town of Amstetten in 1984 and drugged and handcuffed her before imprisoning her. "(Fritzl) has now said that he locked up his daughter for 24 years and that he alone fathered her seven children and that he locked them up in the cellar," Franz Polzer, head of the criminal investigations unit in the province of Lower Austria told Reuters by telephone. Three of Elisabeth Fritzl's children had been locked up since birth in the basement of the plain, grey building along with their mother and had never seen sunlight or received any education, police said. Austrian investigators were combing through the network of windowless, underground cells where Elisabeth and the children had been holed up. Some parts of the dungeon were no more than 1.70 meters (5 ft 6 in) high and officials in Amstetten said the basement labyrinth even contained a padded cell. Fritzl had hidden the entrance to the cell behind shelves and only he knew the secret code for the reinforced concrete door, said officials. The case unfolded when a 19-year-old girl -- the oldest of the three -- became seriously ill and was hospitalized, prompting doctors to appeal for the girl's mother to come forward to provide more details about her medical history. Fritzl then brought Elisabeth and her remaining two children out of the basement, telling his wife -- who thought their "missing" daughter had chosen to return home, police said. Elisabeth agreed to make a "comprehensive statement" detailing her ordeal to the police after receiving assurances she would have no further contact with her father, who she said abused her from the age of 11. Newspaper headlines called the case the "crime of a monster" and the "worst crime of all time". Media asked how authorities and residents of Amstetten, 130 km (80 miles) west of Vienna, could have failed to notice what was happening in the "horror house". SHAME The case was especially shocking because it was reminiscent of that of Austrian Natascha Kampusch who spent eight years locked up in a windowless cell before escaping in August 2006. "The community of Amstetten should drown in shame ... The neighbors are turning a blind eye," the Oesterreich newspaper wrote in an editorial. The daily Der Standard wrote: "The whole country must ask itself what is really, fundamentally going wrong." Police have said they believe Josef's wife Rosemarie had been unaware of what happened to her daughter when she disappeared in 1984 and it was assumed Elisabeth had left voluntarily when her parents received a letter from her saying they should not search for her. But all the while Elisabeth was being held in what Polzer described as a sophisticated network of chambers with facilities for sleeping, cooking and washing. Elisabeth gave birth to seven children, one of whom died shortly after being born, police said. Three of the children -- two girls and one boy -- were brought up by Josef and his wife after they were left on the doorstep where the couple lived. The first child was accompanied by a note from Elisabeth saying she was unable to care for the baby herself. Three others -- two boys and a girl --, including the two eldest aged 18 and 19, and the youngest, aged 5, had been locked up in the basement with their mother since birth. Video News Reuters
