It's All A Mirage

The first of Dubai's artificial islands is almost ready for people to move in. Palm Jumeirah is a 12-square-mile group of palm-shaped islands which are being built from millions of tons of trucked-in Persian Gulf sand and rock. This isn't surprising when you realize that Dubai has a giant indoor ski park in the desert complete with man-made snow, a water park that has fake thunderstorms, a fake hotel, and Michael Jackson. Yes, nothing is real in Dubai.
