The World is comprised of islands grouped together to resemble the world's continents and a few islands have already been reserved by both local and international investors
Each island will range between 250,000 to 900,000 square feet and there will be approximately 50 to 100 metres of water between each island. In total the development will cover an area 9 kilometres in length and 6 kilometres in width and be surrounded by an oval shaped breakwater, which will comprise of both a partly submerged reef and above water revetment. Access to the development will be by marine transport only - there will be no road access.
