The World Islands in Dubai are a collection of man-made isles arranged in the shape of a world map, created by dredging sand from nearby coastal waters. They give off a vibe of a far-off getaway, where each tiny island could be imagined as a slice of another part of the world. Although most of the islands are still quiet and empty, the idea itself sparks a sense of adventure and curiosity.
One standout example is the Heart of Europe project, which is being developed to recreate a small European village with cozy streets and even simulated weather like rain and snow. This themed island offers a taste of Europe while still being close to Dubai, showing how the World Islands blend creative ambition with a touch of international charm.
