A first look at The World’s island residences off Dubai

The World archipelago is taking shape off the emirate, where Saudis are reportedly the most prominent buyers of its first residences in the Heart of Europe, as well as the first underwater floating villas in the (actual) world, otherwise known as the Floating Seahorse homes. Arab News got a tour of Sweden Island on Monday, where the first palace, with its own underground snow room, natch, has been completed. And yes, we can confirm, the Floating Seahorse actually exists.
