We mentioned Space Adventures earlier for their new partnership with Prodea but they have also announced plans for a commercial spaceport in Ras Al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates as part of a plan for global spaceports in various locations. The total cost of the global spaceport development project is at least $265 million. The UAE spaceport will be located less than an hour drive from Dubai (perfect for all those luxury tourists). The development schedule hasn't been released yet.
