THOUSANDS NUMBERS OF ALL KINDS
Palm tress with different size for sale, special price for big
orders.

You don't think this is what they are doing with the Palm Tree Island trees do you?

I read yesterday about the palm tree island. Great, they destroy the only cool place in doha for families and instead they build, what? a fountain?

Very clever indeed.

I would be suitably impressed if that were true... i would love to see how they could achieve that... seems a tall order to me

I wouldn't put anything past Dubai. They have the money, the determination and could care less how stupid they look and long as they are the biggest and the best. Gotta love lots of money and no common sense. :P

I heard the Burj Dubai (or whatever it's called) will have the facility to add more stories so that when someone else builds a taller building they can whack a few more floors on, lego style, to reclaim the crown of world's tallest building! Not sure if this is just a rumour though but it's certainly believable

In Dubai. Right next to the world's only indoor continent.
