Video: Dubailand construction site on Hotel Blogs

April 30, 2008

Guillaume at Hotel Blogs has posted a video from a quick drive he took around the Dubailand construction site. It doesn't look like much yet - construction won't be finished until after 2010 - but it's interesting to get a look at the size of the bare site.

There's a screamingly over-the-top promotional video for Dubailand embedded in a preview we did a while back. Take a look.

From what I've seen and heard so far Dubailand is going to win on scale, but lack the focus and distinct personality of, say, a Disney park.

Impersonal sprawl could be a difficult sell to the family market that Dubailand would presumably like to attract, but it's all speculation at this stage - let's watch and wait.
