The World Facts

The World was announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on May 6th 2003 and the first sand was poured in September 2003 to build the World Island.
The World development represents countries and cities from across the globe and each island will be home to a collection of estates, luxury condos, scenic resorts, restaurants and retail outlets set amidst a range of beaches, yachting and other leisure opportunities.
The World can only be reached via boat, seaplane or helicopter.
The World is 9km wide and 7kms long. It covers an area of 931 hectares.
When complete The World will add 232 kms of beachfront to Dubai's natural 67kms of beahfront.
All of the islands will range from 150,000 sq feet to 450,000 sq feet in size, with the average island measuring approximately 300,000 sq feet.
The average distance between islands is 100 meters.
The average depth of water in The World is 15 meters.
Original cost of islands ranged between $20 - $50 million.
320 million cubic meters of sand have been used to create The World islands.
347 million tonnes of rock have been used to construct the 27km breakwater which is approximately 4 meters above sea level.
Four hubs on The World will function as the marine hubs, commercial and public areas and utilities service points. For example, ferries will bring passengers to these hubs who can either visit a restaurant in the commercial area attached to the hub or take a taxi to a public island within The World.
The World is divided into Private Estate island zones, Commercial zones which have low-mid high density resorts, and hubs which are the ferry transfer points and public visitor areas.
