    Dubai Taking More Cues From Failed Movies By Sinking Money Into Floating Islands in the Shape of Letters

    Just when we thought Dubai couldn't make more absurd architectural decisions, they go and commission a Dutch dude to make floating islands in the shape of Arabic letters that spell out a part of a poem.
