Falcon City of Wonders

So they already have the World, what's next for 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 homes. Three buildings will be modeled on the Great Pyramid in Giza, the Lighthouse at Alexandria and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. There will also be replicas of the Taj Mahal, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel Tower and the Great Wall of China. Residential villas will be situated in the wings of the falcon. The Falcon City website has details of each structure in the massive undertaking. The project is spread over an area of 100 acres and will be created in five overlapped phases, with the first phase expected to begin by the first quarter of 2006.
