One of the palm islands in Dubai.
You can buy a holiday home on one of them if you are absolutely loaded.

There is 2 palms and a world being made currently.
To buy a home on the palm or world you have to be a tad wealthy, along the likes of Mr Beckham has one.
Everyone drives, supercars, blah blah blah.

That's the Palm Jumeirah. Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira are going to be mahoooosive.
My mate works on the Jebel Ali Palm and a month or 2 ago was driving along one of the 'branches' whilst texting and went off the end of the branches in the pickup and ended up half in the sea.
Amazing projects though, there's another one if you look right to the Palm above on Google Earth and a little further out - 'The World' www.theworld.ae

I was a consultant working for F&G so wasn't based in their offices. I was at BNFL in Warrington, but the office I reported back to was the Altringham one.
