After the overall completion, more than 300 small islands will form a "world island" according to the shape of the world map, and people will be able to see the world map outlined by these islands from the air.
Second, Dubai National Museum.
The museum, formerly known as Alfa Hideborg, was built in 1799, mainly to resist foreign invasion. In peacetime, the Dubai government converted it into a museum to introduce the history of Bedouin, the ancestors of Arabs, and the well-preserved galleon became the symbol of the museum. Enter the fortress entrance, walk down the tunnel, and gradually enter the Bedouin world. In the dim light, a lifelike statue is hard to distinguish between true and false. In a flash, people will have an illusion, as if crossing just visiting, and Bedouin life scenes will be presented one by one: men are chatting while smoking a pipe after a hard day. And women are cooking by the fire, as if whispering something, with happy smiles on their faces. In the distant market, there are all kinds of fabrics, spices and handicrafts. A young girl is carefully selecting fabrics for herself. Although the museum is small, it can take you back to history in an instant.

Exquisite buildings with gravel walls inhabited by wealthy families have become the symbol of the old town of Kia in basta. There is a wind tower at the top of the wall, which can introduce wind into the room. It is the embryonic form of effective early air conditioning. The cool and beautifully decorated inner courtyard is in sharp contrast with the indestructible external structure.
