So, what’s new at Dubai? The latest project is called the Falcon City of Wonders and is a $1.5 billion bird-shaped city which will include life-size replicas of seven wonders of the world as well as offices, shops and flats.
Three buildings will be modeled on structures that were part of the original list of the “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World” — the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
Others will be replicas of more modern wonders — the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Great Wall of China, a statement said.
