Dubai’s Extravagant Vegas-Inspired Island
Dubai is about to witness the emergence of a grand spectacle: The Island. A sprawling expanse off the coast of Jumeirah, this ambitious project draws inspiration from the vibrant energy of Las Vegas, featuring renowned hotels such as MGM, Bellagio, and Aria. It’s all set to redefine luxury and entertainment in the region.
Quiet Beginnings and Recent Developments
First revealed in 2017, The Island’s progress remained relatively muted, nestled near the iconic Burj Al Arab. However, recent developments have reignited excitement. Wasl, the visionary behind the project, finalized a monumental construction deal. The China State Construction Engineering Corporation has been entrusted with bringing The Island to life, sealing a colossal deal valued at USD 1.2 billion (Dhs4.4 billion), marking Dubai’s most significant construction contract since 2017.
