Exploring Dubai’s Empty $13 Billion Man-Made Islands

We travel to Dubai to explore the World Islands, a collection of 300 artificial islands that remained mostly empty after the global financial crisis. We visit Lebanon Island, take a gyrocopter flight, and explore restricted islands under construction, including newly built villas. We meet the chairman behind the project, learn how the islands handle water and waste, and spend the night as the first official guest on one of them.
