The World: Dubai's latest wonder

The world just got more breathtaking. If natural beauty has left us charmed with its intricacies, here comes an artificial wonder from the mega bucks city of Dubai to sweep us off the feet.

A canvas, it seems, is too small for the Dubai estate giants Nakheel. So they have decided to paint the map of the world on the Arabian sea and aptly call it 'The World'.

This off-shore mega-project contains 300 man-made islands that make up the shape of a world map.

The tiny dot on green is what connects it with sport.

It is the prodigious golfer Vijay Singh, teeing off from one of the islands that make up the project. The Fijian visited Dubai recently to see 'The World' and check up on the progress of his Water course at Nakheel's Jumeirah Golf Estates.
