I have seen some coverage about this project a while ago in a TV report concerning the already existing Ski Club of Dubai. In that report one of the guys planning this dome admitted that the technological challenge of deep-freeze-cooling a 75 m high glass dome in the middle of a desert is yet unsolved. Of course this task is a little tougher than in the existing Ski Club which has solid walls several meters thick. I am looking forward to see if the bottomless financial resources of Dubai will send us some technological breakthrough until 2008...

They sure are building some amazing things in Dubai. I am familiar with that huge Dubailand (think Disney World on steroids) project because a friend of mine invests in real estate and he bought a residence in a condo hotel that will be next to Dubailand. He says he’ll get rental income for a few years and then sell his condo hotel unit at a profit. The company he used is based in the U.S., www.CondoHotelsDubai.com if anyone is interested in learning more.

Wow, its hard to believe all the incredible projects that are taking place in Dubai. Projects like this are sure to make this a great real estate opurtunity. I recently purchased a condo hotel unit in Sports City. The team at www.DubaiCondoProperty.com were very helpfull.
