Heart of Europe is an extraordinary artificial island development that is all set to be situated in Dubai's 'The World', a collection of artificial islands.
The Heart of Europe development comprises a number of islands named Main Europe, Monaco, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and St. Petersburg, and will together cover an area of 6 million square feet. The island development will be able to accommodate as many as 16,000 people at a time. The island development will be connected by bridge and will be accessible by boat, seaplane and helicopter. Fuel vehicles will not be permitted on the islands.
Some of the highlights of this extraordinary artificial island development include climate-controlled roads, natural corals as well as cafes and restaurants representing 51 different European countries.
Ultimately, the Heart of Europe development stands to be an extraordinary ode to Europe, albeit located in the Persian Gulf.
