Falcon City
of Wonders, also known as FalconCity, is a
100 acre (405 thousand square meter) development
being
built
within Dubailand.
The AED 5.5 billion (US$ 1.5 billion) project will
be a multi-faceted residential, tourist, entertainment
and recreational destination that will contain
residential apartments, villas, shopping
malls, hotels, restaurants, health clubs and
spas, schools and parks.
Falcon City of Wonders will be
a unique tourist attraction, as it will capture
the spirit of ancient civilizations and contain
architectural marvels of the world, combined with
modern facilities. It will be a city shaped like
a falcon and contain life-size replicas of seven
wonders of the world - the
Great Pyramid
in Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
the Lighthouse at Alexandria, Taj Mahal,
the Leaning Tower of
Pisa, the Eiffel Tower and the Great Wall
of China.
The Great Pyramid in Giza will
contain residential flats,
offices and retail outlets and the Babylonian
Gardens will comprise luxury apartments, restaurants
and
coffee shops. The Light House of Alexandria will
consist of hotels and retail outlets and the Taj
Mahal will
comprise
hotels and restaurants. Luxury apartments
and retail outlets will be the main features
of the Eiffel Tower, while the Great Wall of China
will encircle the Pharaohs Theme Park located
within the fun city. The residential villas (The
Villas) will constitute the wings
of the
falcon and will come as detached, semi-detached
and townhouse villas.
The project is being developed
in five overlapping phases, with the first phase
is expected to begin by the first quarter of
2006.
