Just came across this illustration of the second Palm-island in Dubai, the Palm Jebel Ali.
Reminds me of when we tried to go camping out there (see Camping Schmamping).
If you look at the inner ring, you'll see boat launches that are laid out so they form Arabic words. In fact, the words are a poem by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, that roughly translated (by SkyscraperCity.com) says:
Take wisdom only from the wise, Not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey. It takes a man of vision to write on water, Great men rise to great challenges.
