Dubai: Dubai's ruler has announced that the emirate which is home to the world's tallest skyscraper will build a new 1,400-berth marina and massive lighthouse along its coast.
Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum made the surprise announcement about the Dubai Harbor on Monday.
The harbour is planned to be over 20 million square feet and will include a cruise ship port and terminal. The project also will include a 443-foot-tall lighthouse.
Meraas, a developer backed by Shaikh Mohammed, will build the project between Dubai's Jumeirah Beach Residence neighborhood and the man-made Palm Jumeirah archipelago.
