00:00For some, Dubai is the essence of the luxury.
00:03In 1966, the Sheikh Rashid Ben Saeed Al Maktoum
00:06has started to transform a stable village of fishers
00:09in a mega-poole étincelable covered by the sea of ice.
00:13All this was possible through the oil revenue.
00:16Year after year, investors and expatriés have afflued towards the city.
00:20Today, Dubai abrite the ski stations in the interior,
00:24the aquatic parks in the air,
00:26a meteorological control by drone,
00:28the future garden and the tennis courts floating.
00:33But all is also idyllic as it appears.
00:36The city is living in a desert where the temperatures can frow the 50 degrees.
00:43Dubai could be a disaster that needs to be produced.
00:47This could be the case, or maybe not.
00:50Let's go together.
00:53One of the most controversial projects of this Emirates
00:56could actually be in danger.
00:58We are talking about the artificial islands of Dubai,
01:00in the large of the coast.
01:03Built by sandstone from marine sand,
01:05they are part of an ambitious plan
01:07to create the water stations and residents for the ultra-riches.
01:12However,
01:13today, most of these islands are abandoned.
01:16and their market fell.
01:18The worst, no one was waiting for such a result.
01:22They are already starting to disappear in the sea.
01:26Let's take a look at these extraordinary hills.
01:29There are three hills in form of palmiers.
01:32Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deirah,
01:36an archipel of 300 small hills called Le Monde
01:40and a last ensemble of hills,
01:43and after the constellations, the universe.
01:47The construction started in 2000 with the Palm Jebel.
01:51The main goal was to create an oasis
01:55in Dubai,
01:57with more luxury luxury shops,
01:59hoteliers, restaurants and plages.
02:03The Palm Jebel, for example,
02:05have houses similar to the manoirs,
02:07built in the contemporary styles
02:09within a secure secure residence.
02:11They are supposed to reproduce the style
02:13of the Hollywood.
02:15At the moment, Palm Jumeirah is the most developed
02:18of all,
02:19and dispose of businesses,
02:21and hotels in activity.
02:23The two other hills palmiers
02:25are described as being
02:27plutôt sous-exploited,
02:28voire carrément desertic.
02:31Quant to the Archipel of the Universe,
02:33it hasn't even started yet,
02:35but it is already established
02:36since the 2028.
02:41The Archipel du Monde
02:42has encountered a series of problems
02:43since the beginning of its development.
02:45These problems were mainly
02:47used to use of oceanic
02:49to build the islands.
02:51The erosion caused by the water
02:52and the wind
02:53began to ronger the islands
02:54since the first day.
02:55But that's not all.
02:57The rise of oceanic levels
02:59has now caused
03:00to the entirely engloutir
03:01entirely.
03:02In addition,
03:03the economic consequences
03:04of the crisis
03:05of 2008
03:06are still feeling.
03:07Analysons in detail
03:08to measure the height
03:12of this immobilization.
03:16Palm Jumeirah,
03:17the only ensemble
03:18of the hills
03:19considered as successful
03:20until now,
03:21it is literally
03:22at a rate of 5 mm
03:23per year.
03:24It is apparent
03:25that the sable
03:26accumulated
03:27on the marine
03:28is not very effective
03:29to support the weight
03:30of hundreds of thousands
03:31of tons
03:32built on it.
03:33The hills
03:34of Dubai
03:35and the level
03:36of the ocean
03:37monte.
03:38It is indeniable.
03:39How the engineers
03:40at the origin of these
03:41grandiose projects
03:42have not been able
03:43to see such a result?
03:44This is clearly not the case.
03:46The brise-lames
03:47around the islands
03:48reach only 2 meters
03:50high,
03:51below what is necessary
03:52for a serious protection
03:54Erosion hydride
03:56also includes
03:57between 10
03:58and 15.000 m3
03:59of sable
04:00per year.
04:01A number
04:02which increases
04:03as soon as
04:04the climate
04:05climate
04:07and the ocean
04:08conditions
04:09and the marae
04:10oceanic.
04:11It is also
04:12to mention
04:13the ecological problems
04:14caused by
04:15the construction
04:16of these hills.
04:17In the beginning,
04:18the processus
04:19has monopolized
04:20excesses
04:21of natural resources
04:22causing a diminution
04:23of biodiversity
04:24and extinction
04:25of certain species.
04:26These hills
04:27are extremely
04:28nuisible
04:29and marine
04:31Dubaï
04:32consume a lot
04:33of energy
04:34in the world
04:35in 2019,
04:36the average
04:37consumption
04:38of ee
04:39per person
04:40was
04:41the most high
04:42in the world.
04:4398%
04:44of this ee
04:45proviene
04:46from the
04:47fossilization
04:48which use
04:49a considerable amount
04:50of fossil fuels.
04:51In addition,
04:52the use of
04:53sable marine
04:54and sediment
04:55to build
04:56the hills
04:57has had
04:58catastrophic consequences
04:59for the local ecosystem.
05:00During the construction,
05:01the ee
05:02are becoming
05:03troubles
05:04because of the limon,
05:05asphyxiant the life
05:06marine
05:07has been
05:08covered
05:095 cm
05:10of sediment.
05:11Examine
05:12from the most
05:13close to one of the
05:14phares of Dubaï,
05:15the hills
05:16of the world
05:17and discover
05:18the mysteries
05:19which
05:20the construction of this
05:21archipel
05:22started at the beginning
05:23of the year 2000,
05:24surrounded by rumors
05:25going to purchase
05:26by celebrities
05:27to the hôteliers
05:28extravagant projects.
05:29During many years,
05:31the achievement
05:32of the project
05:33seemed uncertain.
05:34after the abandon
05:35of the island
05:36after the financial crisis
05:37of 2008.
05:38What would have
05:39been the most ambitious
05:40project
05:41of the Arab Emirates
05:42Unis
05:43has become a phantom city.
05:47Similarly,
05:48the reputation
05:49of Dubaï
05:50as a destination
05:51of luxury vacation
05:52and investment
05:53has been strengthened
05:54positively
05:55the archipel
05:56of the world.
05:57For example,
05:58the hotel group
05:59Anantara
06:00has inaugurated
06:01a complex
06:02of 70 chambers
06:03called Anantara
06:05World Islands
06:06Dubai Resort.
06:07Do you think
06:08that gives hope
06:09in this destination
06:10once again
06:11délaissée?
06:12So,
06:13what are exactly
06:14the islands
06:15of the world?
06:16About 4 km
06:17wide
06:18of Dubai,
06:19in the Persich,
06:20these islands
06:21form an archipel
06:22which reproduce
06:23the world
06:24in miniature.
06:25Each island
06:26has been created
06:27by the company
06:28Nakil Projects
06:29based in Dubai
06:30and known
06:31for its ambitious projects.
06:32such as
06:33the emblematic
06:34hotel
06:35Saint-Régis.
06:37The artificial islands
06:38have been built
06:39in extraying
06:40the sand
06:41and transporting
06:42to the site
06:43to this effect.
06:45Several millions
06:46of tons of rocks
06:47have been used
06:48to maintain it
06:49in place.
06:50In total,
06:51we count 300
06:52islands,
06:53each measure
06:54between 23 200
06:55and 83 600
06:56m2.
06:57To this day,
06:58more than 14
06:59billion dollars
07:00have been invested
07:01in the construction.
07:02The developers
07:03have been able to
07:04overcome many obstacles,
07:05including the
07:06travaux
07:07and the rumors
07:08in which the world
07:09were sinking
07:10in the ocean.
07:11During many years,
07:13the project
07:14Art of Europe
07:15has been the most
07:16most prominent.
07:17This development
07:18would transform
07:19some of the islands
07:20into a replica
07:21of the European continent
07:22in going to
07:23to recreate
07:24the artificial conditions
07:25meteorological
07:26in some areas,
07:27snow and rain
07:28included.
07:30The project
07:31Art of Europe
07:32includes the construction
07:33of luxury hotels
07:34and private hotels
07:35and even
07:36floating houses.
07:37Each villa
07:38is designed
07:39to transport
07:40the occupants
07:41to different
07:42European destinations
07:43such as
07:44Venice,
07:45Sweden,
07:46Monaco
07:47or Germany.
07:48This project
07:49is always
07:50in the development
07:51and the group
07:52actively seeking
07:53potential investors.
07:54The most exciting
07:55project
07:56would be
07:57the Anantara
07:58World Islands
07:59Dubai Resort.
08:01In the Latin America
08:02and offering
08:03an incredible view
08:04on the city
08:05this complex
08:06has opened
08:07its doors
08:08in 2021.
08:09The apartments
08:10include
08:11houses,
08:12houses on the beach
08:13and houses with
08:14piscines.
08:15Actuellement,
08:16it is the only complex
08:17open on the whole
08:18of the archipel
08:19offering a sense
08:20of privilege
08:21and confidentiality.
08:23It is interesting
08:24to note
08:25that the opportunities
08:26of development
08:27and of purchase
08:28are relatively confident
08:29that an ancient
08:30announcement
08:31on the web
08:32initially
08:33the whole
08:34of the world
08:35was still an intriguing project.
08:37Later,
08:38there was only one
08:39individual
08:40to sell.
08:41The identity
08:43of the world
08:44has not been
08:45divulged,
08:46but the annonce
08:47was described
08:48as a non-developed
08:49non-developed
08:50of 47,000 m2
08:51made in vente
08:52for 16 millions
08:53of dollars.
08:54It may seem
08:55an exorbitant
08:56to the problems
08:57associated
08:58with the world
08:59but their value
09:00could easily increase
09:01if the complex
09:02of the world
09:03has been
09:04promised.
09:05In addition,
09:06if you want
09:08to acquire
09:09a parcel
09:10of these
09:11islands
09:12but not find anything
09:13to sell,
09:14think about
09:15the purchase
09:16of the heart of Europe.
09:17This project
09:18offers
09:19the possibility
09:20to acquire
09:21a residential
09:22on the one
09:23of these islands
09:24or even
09:25private
09:26if you have
09:27the way
09:28you have
09:29the opportunity.
09:30I wonder
09:31how are we
09:32doing the courses
09:33there?
09:34As I know,
09:35the infrastructure
09:36have been
09:37there.
09:38Do they even
09:39a service
09:40or have to go
09:41to the hotel
09:42the most close
09:43to take a little
09:44breakfast?
09:45On the other hand,
09:46due to the price
09:47that you pay your property,
09:48the cost
09:49of the day
09:50would not be
09:51your main concern.
