Dubai, the city which is home to the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, is at it again with her world record breaking structures.
Dubai has started preparations for the next milestone which is to build the biggest shopping mall on planet earth.
The emirate’s ruler, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, has laid out plans for a sprawling real-estate project, the Mall of the World, which will include an 8 million-square-foot mall, a climate-controlled street network, a theme park covered during the scorching summer months and 100 hotels and serviced apartments.
Dubai Holding, the company behind the project, says on its website that the mall will be the world's largest, but that claim could not be independently confirmed.
Plans for the Dubai project also include a cultural and theater district drawing inspiration from New York's Broadway, a shopping thoroughfare based on London's
Oxford Street and a "wellness district" meant to attract medical tourists.
The new mall project alone is expected to create an additional 20,000 hotel rooms.
These Arab guys are sure taking over...
