But wouldn't it be nice to MAKE your own desert island.:D[:P]
 
I saw a program on this that said they have severe water quality problems from the lack of flow and stagnation in the lagoons. Must smell great in the heat :(
 
If you have a slip in the marina, I wonder if your fuel is free with a pump-out........
 
If you zoom in on Bill's link , it's amazing how many houses they have packed into the palm project, with lots to go. Do buy or not do buy....?
 
A lot of them vacant. Abu Dubai had a real estate bust just like here, and the Sheik of Abu Dubai went bust as well and had to be rescued by his father, the Emir of Dubai. Huge bubble there and a lot of people left the keys on the counter and walked out of there homes and went back to Europe or the States. It is hotter than hades there and oh....alcohol is illegal (wink-wink). It is however a beautiful city and when the economy comes back it will be a special place in the Middle East. If you want one of the places, I would buy now, seriously.
 
Just to clarify, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are different cities in the UAE. The Palm Island development is part of Dubai.
 
I'd prefere the new Saudi Arabian yacht club. Designed by boaters for boaters. Cheap, cheap fuel.
