Description: Dubai Mega Project: UAE To Build Aladdin City Towers Designed To Look Like Genie Lamp At Dubai Creek Dubai has given the green light to yet another impressive building project - a 4,000-acre complex of towers inspired by characters from Arabian Nights, including Aladdin and Sinbad the Sailor. “Aladdin City” will feature six towers, some designed to resemble Aladdin’s magic lamp, linked by air-conditioned bridges with moving walkways. The towers will reach heights of 34, 26 and 25 storeys, and will include offices, at least one hotel, and parking for 900 cars. Mr Lootah has previously said that Aladdin City’s towers will be “icons of legends of the past with a touch of beauty and tourism characteristic of the city.” Although located in the historic Dubai Creek area, where wooden sailing boats still cross the river mouth and traders exchange goods in the souks, the new development is outside the area that is currently bidding for World Heritage status from Unesco. The building officially opened on January 4, 2010, and it is part of the 490-acre development called Downtown Dubai. However, another ambitious project has hit a stumbling block. The Dubai Eye, which was billed to be the world's biggest ferris wheel, was supposed to be open to the public this year, but this has been pushed back until 2018. Set to be 690ft tall, and attract more than three million visitors a year, the attraction is part of a one billion pound entertainment project called The Bluewaters Island.
