Damn amazing. Dubai is becoming the most amazing place in the world imo. I am going there now January 25 and will be working in Armani’s hotel in Burj Khalifa for some months yuhuu.
Thanks for the great article mate.

of course, we are not 5, and evidently construction on this never even started. But there is still a mystery that a real construction company with a real established reputation claimed to have this “almost finished”. Why would anyone make themselves look like such an obvious idiot and destroy whatever trust anyone could ever have in their other (real) enterprises?

All you can see on google Maps at this position is some sand that they bring some time ago.

In fact I’m going to the beach next to it quite often, and there’s no work going on.

Like most of the huge crazy projects in dubai, this project got “postponed” for a lack of money. Dubai does not have anymore petrol or gaz, the only source of investment for such a project like that is investment and speculation.
It did work for the palm Jumeirah, but then the crisis hit the world and speculation on construction stopped.

I see now that some projects are starting again, builders and workers are back, cranes are moving again at the top of the buildings. But for how long ?

This story is wrong. Hydropolis is not about to be finished, in fact construction has yet to be started. As others have pointed out there are no available images of construction or the site to be found. The official webpage: http://www.hydropolis.com/ has been offline for weeks.
“Due To Be Completed Soon” is a totally unfounded statement. The project has been on hold for years.

Ok, but then there is this mystery, why would a builder just go announce that a project is near completion when its not, it would completely ruin them, what would motivate someone to do something like that…
