The Catastrophic Failure of Dubai’s Man-Made Islands

- In 2003, the Dubai government embarked on one of the most insane megaprojects imaginable - create man-made islands in the ocean, shaped of the world's countries. It was supposed to be a short boat ride from Dubai, but today, more than 20 years after construction began, more than 90% of the man-made islands sit completed abandoned.
This is, The Catastrophic Failure of Dubai’s Man-Made Islands.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2
Also, the idea for this video was inspired by "neo" who posted a video on a similar topic in May 2020 titled "Why Dubai's Man-Made Islands Are Still Empty" You can watch their version here - • Why Dubai's Man-Made I...

I enjoy learning of any catastrophic failure that takes attention away from the fact that I myself, am a catastrophic failure.
Don’t say that about your self u matter bro
This topic is pretty popular on other TH-cam videos 😅
Take the steps to change yourself.
It's the hardest thing to do, but you'll come out the other side better for it.
Plan for the change & then do it.
@@ClickClack_Bam It's not that easy bro.
Damn I feel ya
I went to Dubai in 2021, I was in a taxi and was talking to the taxi driver about the world islands. He said that they were doomed from the start and were slowly sinking.
Probably for the best
that indian taxi driver is probably in jail now
@@hithummaheveryone in Dubai knows it’s a failure
UAE isn't China or Canada where you get imprisoned for stuff like that@@hithummah
@splintercell5551 it's true! I live in Dubai and it's obvious
People with too much money, immense egos, and terrible ideas are always a wonderful combination.
Sounds like the plot of Jurassic Park 1990 🦖
Add the poor culture standards of the rich people of the Middle East and well there u go…. Combine money with a Muslim mindset and it’s won’t be a clean one and people will see though the money and goes fuck it don’t want to deal with them
They have good ideas. When you have oil money you can venture capitalise any project your country wants. Only one way to find out!
And no f*ing idea of how reality works.
@@MrEminemNo these ideas aren't good honey, they're extremely stupid and show time and time again that you can't buy a better brain...
Damn wasn't expecting this topic, love to see you step out your comfort zone and experimenting even at the level you are at now
damn son
hi louaista!!!
he hasn't really done a lot of youtube news after the entire chris incident
Very true, he's not getting bottlenecked on any type of content, he's always trying to expand and touch on different things, with great success. That's admirable.
Yeah
This reminds of when you start a big greedy project in Minecraft but then quit just 30 minutes later
That was my prison project idea on Spectal Island in fallout 4 I just recently came back and decided to turn it into a luxury suite lmao
Just last month I had a big project turning a "small" island into a comfortable and complete home.
The first week went well and was just simple and "basic" stuff. In the second week, I destroyed the beehive with a tool that had no "silk touch". 2 of my 3 bees died after stinging me. I was so annoyed that it took thousands of blocks to find a bee nest.
So I changed the game mode to creative mode, spawned 2 bees and "developed" my bee farm a bit, went back to survival mode, but it didn't feel the same anymore because I "cheated"
The next day, I deleted my world lmao
I tried building a massive medieval style town with Castle and everything but after 3 months I gave up
Dubai sounds more and more like someone's simcity game with unlimited money with each video i watch about it
Lol
😂
It quite literally that, but the money slowly turning back on.
You know what my $7 million house needs while surrounded 360 degrees by the ocean? A swimming pool.
You can't exactly swim in ocean water at times, it can be dangerous and hazardous.
@@HeroSword_P how often does it happen and how often would those hazards not impact the pools?
U really wanna walk to the water when you can pay to have one conveniently build in the mansion
Rich people problems. It's stupid.
Ocean water is nasty tho. Pool water can be trusted.
I always figured that the islands were a bad idea, and now it's quite clear that they were. They've caused drastic damage to the marine life & biodiversity, and it's all for nothing. Especially seeing as some of the islands are literally eroding - causing even more damage to marine life. It's honestly sad.
Who cares about the animals, the real problem is that slavery is basically legal in Dubai
@@ghoost4308dude, animals are more important. You can end slavery but you can’t just revive an animal. Also, there’s more people in slavery now then in the 1800s, but the definition of it has changed from chattel slavery to slavery in other forms. Heck, even a lot of big American companies like hersheys use slave labor from Africa to farm their cocoa beans and lithium.
All thanks to The Rich people there
@@ghoost4308because only someone like you don't care about animals
@@Azurethewolf168 we are getting there, lets just hope people stored the genes of those animals.
These places look so soulless, I can't understand why anybody would want to live there
tax evasion
Almost none of the buyers would actually live there full time, properties like those Jumera islands are mainly just investment properties.
Dubai looks horrible and expensive
Kuwait did something different than other gulf countries which seemed to work: Instead of making lands outwards it dug inwards and created manmade peninsulas
@CLlTCHMurder war
This makes a million times more sense than making islands, like you're just surrounded by other islands with nothing on them
Also I love Kuwait City way more than Dubai. Like the UAE when you leave Kuwait City it's pretty much nothing but desert, with some scattered Bedouins and cattle farm. But Kuwait City is far more beautiful and enjoyable than Dubai. They even have a giant mall with an indoor ski slope. They also have a huge tower by the coast that has a fancy restaurant at the top, and a mini kart course at the bottom.
@@SolaceMcfly Beach front property. Inland beachfront propery is not remotely he same.
@@themodernfrontiersmen Kuwait City is literally known as one of the most boring cities in the world. extra ironic when you remember dubai has the the largest mall in the world.
u missed 2 important observations:
1) Dubai heat most of the year is unbearable.
2) The water within the man-made islands started to smell so badly, which makes living there even unbearable🤷♀️
But rich people like it😂
Stagnant water + heat = 🤮
they cannot do anything about the heat..it is what it is. although i heard that they are using drones to inject the clouds with chemicals so that it rains more often. i always wondered if all the homes are filled. and do they fear flooding and rogue waves. i noticed the homes are at ground level and not elevated.
@@larryc1616yummy bacteria
Smell so badly. Sums up that part of the world.
Don't forget that they can truck their sewage or dump it in the ocean. When I visited there around 2005, you couldn't get within 50 yards of the ocean, let alone go into it. The stench was unbelievable.
Savages doing things out of order
Trying to fast forward evolution that took Europeans centuries
As a little kid moving to the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai during 2008, we lived on a permanent construction site as the frond we lived on, Frond G was never finished. So it was just a weird experience as a kid watching everything around you never be finished, walking on the beach and stepping over pieces of rebar poking out of the sand
You are rich as fuck
You won’t believe how much it changed from 2008 heck even 2018
@The_Argentine3737 visited in 2021 and I couldn't believe it honestly, so much of the empty sand I was used to seeing was turning into more resort space and random towers on the edge
SO it’s a dystopian nightmare, got it.
@lordhighwind6230 not too bad when you're an 8 year old
Anyone who played as a child at the beach at some point probably tried making a sand castle or sand fort near the shoreline only to then see it eroded by the waves in all kinds of ways once the tide started to come in. How can a people who live with so much sand not understand what a bad idea it is using it as a foundation in water? It's totally nuts.
They got blinded by their wealth and thought anything was possible with money
Clearly they understand that it's not such a bad idea which is why one of the islands has been successful for almost 20 years lol you act like there isn't tons of money and resources spent JUST in the planning of these projects, they're not operating out of luck
Clearly you are smartered then a entire nation because you saw sand castles fall down.
Nah man. They have metal beams to hold them up as well as other structural . The Jumeirah Palm was a great (edit: not so great) sucsess. My best friend used to live on it. So glad you understand that you are smart, and the hundreds of ecological scientists and architects working on the islands are actually idiots.
@@Failure... the islands were not built like children's sand castles tho, that's why one of the projects was successful. Ya'll so easily baited 🤦
The project failed because of poor planning, and economic factors. Did you even watch the video? 🤦
What hits me the hardest is the vast amount of wasted resources that could have been used for so many better purposes.
Exactly
they do this for tourism to gain money for other projects
with that money they can use it for better purposes
Like improving the conditions of their migrant workers
@@XenithYTChanneland it failed horribly...
I love that sunny covers topics that people don't talk about

@InstagramUser69what are you talking about
Saudi Arabia: "Maybe building giant vanity projects in the middle of the desert wasn't a great idea"
Dubai: "Hold my petrol pump"
most of Dubai's projects were successful though. Its just not as won talking about achievements and success instead of failures.
I'd love more content about stuff like this. It's fairly educational and entertaining at the same time.
Moral of the story: Don't dump a bunch of sand into the ocean and try to sell it
Moral of the story: the wealthy are greedy and mentally unwell
It's worked in other parts of the world. Obviously you just need a valid economic basis for it.

Is nobody talking about the SwagLikeOhio Beach?
I could add a few notes here, but the biggest one is about Michael Schumacher, he has been in a vegetative state for over a decade so I don't think it's a fair point to say he hasn't commented on the island since he hasn't been able to comment on anything since it was given to him.
@NEFoodReviews from the article date, he would've only been the owner for a little more than a year before his accident.
I still think some respect should have been shown to Michael. You should do your research the guy ruined his life trying to save someone while skiing. At least a note should have been stated for Michael’s bravery and acknowledging who he was and still is as a person
Michael isn't in a vegetative state any more, he came out of his coma in June 2014. He's not exactly back to normal though, he's paralysed and struggles talking etc.
@@ZoeBarber Coma=/= vegetative, he can't move or speak is the rumor but the family hasn't said anything publicly
@@MrDewwwwwwwwwww I thought vegetative means you can't communicate, and even though he may not be able to speak, he can in other ways I suppose (allegedly).
One note about that Reddit post, remember the master developer thought the project would be funded by the Emirate of Dubai; when the funding was pulled during the financial crisis the developer was left with no way to fulfill those promises to buyers. So it wasn’t any type of scam by the developer, the project was essentially shut down by the government. As shown in the video it wasn’t the only one, as two of the palms along with several other resorts including a Tiger Woods golf course all also had the plug pulled and were abandoned. Dubai does seem to be spending again in recent years but it seems like they’ve lost interest in pumping money into the world islands or the palms, and are willing to let the market dictate what happens to the already-built portions of the palms and world islands.
I'd like some update about this...
I suppose it was just too much, too fast. You have the same issue in China entire cities and neighborhoods abandoned before anybody lived there. In Spain, too at a much smaller scale.
Michael Schumacher hasn’t visited or commented on his island or much of anything because he had been in a coma for years as of late 2013… poor guy, absolute legend 💙
OMG mrbeast commented on my recent vid Im shaking rn
Shame no research was done on his bravery which resulted in him being in a coma
Came here to make this comment, thanks🙌🏼
Also came to say this 😢
I notes that, I thougt it was wierd of him to say that. I really think he should have researched that before saying that in his video

Adam Something made a great point about these islands. Just do them in reverse. Use the endless sand outside of the city and dig areas to fill with water versus this artificial island nonsense.
Use rocks 🪨 and soil 🌿 along with whatever else needed would still be a better option then whatever this is.
China certainly didn't learn anything. They have been trying to dredge up sand and make islands on their stupid "9 dash line." They wanted to build military bases on them. Those islands are also sinking, and much faster.
I've been to Dubai as a tourist and the only man-made island I've been is Palm Jumeriah just because of the waterpark called Atlantis Aquaventure. I never knew about the other islands being a total failure
the other islands making 'the world' islands are very different from the Palm Jumeriah which is still connected to the land as far as im concerned. Those world forming islands were meant to be for private investors and real estate, unlike palm Jumeriah which is for tourists
A lot of their projects are failure.
😢😢Leviticus 18:22 KJV
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.
Kind of tempting fate when they decided to call it "Atlantis"
was atlantis adventure everything you ever dreamed of?
Michael Schumacher probably hasn’t commented on that house because he was sadly injured in a skiing accident back in 2012 I think. The accident left him largely paralyzed and bed ridden but I don’t know much because him and his family have made little to no comments about the sensitive topic.
Very tragic, wish Michael can recover from the incident.
Btw, its 2013 not 2012 😊
XD His family is still trying to get as much money out of his corpse as possible. The most evil people on the planet, really.
This whole island project just reeks of stupidity. People with a ton of wealth and power and no one around them to tell them, "No. Don't be an idiot."
If you're doing short documentaries on abandoned projects, I'd like to see a video of the tower of Jedda that Saudi Arabia failed to build
Well the government wasn't involved in that project it was a private project
@Samurai_64 its a private project
It was a private project and the company got bankprupt and their biggest investor Sheikh Waleed got in jail from Saudi government
Maybe because they haven't finished building it yet? It certainly isn't abandoned yet so please think before you spread false information
@@all-caps3927it has been on held for 5 years
as a person living in the UAE, i've never actually thought about the palm jumeirah other than it being a great tourist attraction. i never really knew it had a lot of negative effects
Make common sense common again. 🙄
Average awareness of a UAE resident
Since how long, have you lived in the UAE!?
Most socially aware person in the UAE
Kinda because like half of the negative things covered arent true. Like we dont have slaves what
Dubai is trying so hard to build amazing architecture like Denmark and failing so hard that I don‘t know whether I should laugh at them or pity them.
Trying to catch up to centuries of European supremacy (due to trial and error!)
Here is a list of materials if u want to build it too:

50000 stone blocks
10000 oak wood
100 beds
50 furnaces
3 enchanting tablets
45 bookshelf
thanks man, i’m gonna build it in the pacific ocean
you can build a sand super for the glass and sand!

I would've never guessed those small islands were supposed to represent the world. They could've invested in a draftsman who can think of something that *DOES* represent the world.

I live in Dubai, and this is one of the most weirdest things here, the abnormal amount of wasted resources the UAE government has spent on is ridiculous, youd think theyd learn after stopping multiple projects, but no.
I'm sorry that happens
When you realise it's all about jobs production, like the Roman Empire building pointless monuments, it's all about keeping people happy with employment.
You guys got plumbing for the world's tallest building yet? Or are they still hauling it out via sewage truck convoy?
@@iratepirate3896 A lot of people working on those projects are literal slaves from poorer countries so I don't think they are creating much employment with that.
@toytacambery9427 they already have that since over a decade ago but wouldn't expect 🤡s like you to do any basic research 🤣🤣
I feel like this is one of the most interesting topics that you’ve covered on your channel, it’s nice to see some fresh air from all this Twitch and TH-cam drama! Keep up the great work Sunny!

can't wait to see if 'The Line' project will be featured in a SunnyV2 video in the future
YES PLEASE! Sunny should make more videos like failed megaprojects and not another TH-camr drama from 8 seconds ago.

@@clayslayyy I know Sunny is a controversial TH-camr but, just because somebody talked about something doesn't mean others can no longer talk about it.
Lived in Abu Dhabi for about 2 months and visited Dubai often, Palm Jumeriah is an incredible feat on its own but when seeing it live, its like a whole another city which was already weird since it felt like the residents there didn't have to drive anywhere outside the island to get essentials. There's 2 malls that are pretty substantial while riding the metro to the end point of the island, which I had no idea, with really high end stores there. Went to eat at a resort right next to the inside part of the island and to my surprise, on the outer part of the island facing the ocean, were waves crashing but on the inside, felt like a flat lake. Idk, it was an awesome and amazing experience but weird in how different compared to the beachlines around the world. Oh and the sand on the beachfront is what really took me by surprise, artificial that felt like I was holding on to mashed potato instead of the smooth, water-like sand of the dunes right outside the city.
The problem with Dubai, and the UAE, by extension, is that it’s so suburban. From one end of Dubai to the other is 50 km and it just feels like a whole bunch of freeways with a few buildings dotted here and there. It gets boring fast, everyone spends most of their day inside their cars, and in the suburbs you can’t talk to anyone or meet anyone interesting at all.
@@schoolofgrowthhackingfully agree. Unless you’re 25-35 and single looking to hook up, it’s shocking how quickly Dubai gets boring
@@dawsonje every place gets boring if you don’t have hobbies. You can say many things about Dubai, but it’s not boring here. If you love outdoor sports, camping, exploring then it’s a fabulous place. I’m 53 and been here for 15 years
" A whole another".
I went to Abu Dhabi for 4 days and that’s 4 more days than I would liked to. Horrible place, too hot, too dry, everything feels and looks like it’s done just to show off. If you like buying pointless shit and showing off I’m sure it’s ok 😂
In 200 years the entire area will have returned to the sea and the desert.
It's propped up by oil money (which will have ceased to have any value) and rising sea-levels will have reclaimed much of these developments.
It will be a nice holiday for archaeologists.
Global warming is a scam dude. Ice bergs melting yet they are record high levels….
I have zero desire to visit Dubai.
I actually really enjoyed this video, and really appreciate the shift in your topic towards failed mega projects than failed internet stars. Do consider more topics like this, I do hope the views reflect it!
I agree
I'm guessing it was a primary school design competition....Congratulations to the 5 year old winner on their brilliant design.

Jk in my last comment i can already see the replies ima get insulting my intelligence
The problem with having a lot of money is that you need deep levels of responsibility to do good things.
I remember looking at Dubai on Google Earth and seeing these mega projects. I had always wondered why 1 was full, while the others looked empty, unproductive and unfinished. This answers all my questions my little mind had back then. Thanks, Sunny.

Geez, bro...great research. Michael Schumacher has been recovering from a skiing accident where he was IN A COMA for the last decade. That might be a tiny clue why he's never made a public statement about it
Well the reason why michael schumacher never said anything about the island he was gifted is because he's been in a vegetative state (kinda) since 2013.
He crashed?
@@boneunowproductionsSkiing accident
Yeah big mistake on his part. He could’ve at least said that his family hasn’t said anything about the house
Head first into a rock@@boneunowproductions
They withdrew from the public after the incident because german "journalist" from BILD and comparabel ones, kept pestering them about the incident. He is in such a bad vegetative state, that the most the public knows about Schuhmacher nowadays, is that he is able to somewhat physically respond to people being in his room. The family withdrew even further from public view after the incident with the "journalists" because they were really going above and beyond trying to find out anything about Schuhmacher. I think his son was not able to live up to the legacy of his Father aswell, which will probably mark the end of the name "Schuhmacher" in Formula 1 Racing for the time being.@@SpectorEuro4
This concept is so dystopian when you think about it. Building islands over the sea, disrupting marine life in the process, just to have more area to fill with construction. There's definitely a book there...
how is that dystopian L.M.A.O.
@DrLifeGamer when you consider it in the extreme, that's when it becomes dystopian. All of earth is covered in soil to make more space for industry that's suffocating the planet. That sort of vibe.

I stayed in Dubai last summer on deira island as it’s now called since the palm has been abandoned. Things are just starting to develop but it’s a nice area, definitely nothing compared to what it was meant to be with there only being like 2 hotels and a market. Definitely getting started better than jebel Ali, but I’d love to know what the future holds for the two of them
I would say start planting palm trees and mangroves on the Islands, probably in 20 years they will become very desirable....

🏝🌴👌🤓✌️☮️🖤
When we were there in 2019, the main road through looked to be dozens of condo buildings in various stages of construction or abandonment. So eerie and uninviting.
They fr just playing city skylines forgetting it’s not on creative mode
Why are people even surprised?
Don’t you know that thousands and thousands of properties were either pay up front or had large deposits put down for off plan apartments and houses, that were not only never build, but also NEVER refunded!
Reason? It’s easy. The Dubai royal family owns the biggest part of building projects the rest of the projects are owned by the Dubai government, which in turn is also controlled by the royal family.
So they simply pull the plug on the developments and keep the money.
So many international buyers are grouping together to hire lawyers, but as Arab countries do not adder to international law, people NEVER get there money back!
But anyway, why would you live in Dubai? Have you not heard about, super rich expats, losing their job, then having to pack light and run for the airport in the cover if darkness? Never seen onboard video recordings showing expat families breaking down in tears, having escaped? The super cars dumped all around the Dubai airport with keys and notes saying we had to leave?
It’s punishable with prison sentence, if you lose your job and fall back on loan repayments, even for a single payment.
The Dubai locals, are not only comfortable, with 10 Indian construction builders, practical unpaid yet also unable to go home, unliving them self every single month.
They are also travelling the world, with their Philippines house staff, underpaid, who have no access to their own passports, working 6,5 days of 12-16 hours a day, knowing that, not even entering the UK, for their holidays, means anybody helps what’s eventually slaves to escape. And when a Arab royal beats his male servant and sex slave to death at Landmark hotel, it’s covered up and the royal prince is not only shown royal immunity (no consequents) but also given asylum in the UK.
Arabs including Dubai citizens, do as they please, they seem to be above laws and human rights in every single way shape and form.
God if people didn’t know this, they must be living under a rock.
This is the strangest Minecraft build tutorial I think I've ever seen.
Wow the way sunnyv2 covers his content is pretty impressive always talks about the best topics
Dubai: Now that we have sold millions of our oil. What are we going to do with these much wealth?
Everybody: Make our country great by improving our education, healthcare, infrastructure, defense, public transportation, laws and regulations, our environment, cost of living, tourism, etc.?
Dubai: No, that's stupid. How about we build islands out to the sea?
That moment when he says "North America and Canada" 6:36 Lol
I remember I was In the sixth grade in my computer class and we were having fun messing with Google Earth. My teacher showed us these islands talking about how they are in the middle of construction. It's how life works.
Dubai- more money than common sense
Anyone else think, "The Line City," is gonna go the same way as these islands?

That’s why Dubai has gone from an affordable family destination to a destination only for the very rich. We are still on our way home from 2 weeks in Dubai, 2 plates of chicken pasta cost $157.00 and it was a case of spot the chicken. Truly disgraceful where it has gone. I remember holiday there in the late 1990’s upto 10 years ago and prices have gone from affordable to you need a hefty bank loan to go there.
Maybe this is what they want but what they fail to realise the middle classes are greater than the very rich.
Unfortunately I have another holiday booked and paid for with my daughter in March. From where I loved this destination I hated it. No one wants to be ripped off and that’s exactly what it has become.
Whenever someone says something along the lines like "only money is hindering us" I bring this project up. No matter what, there are things that not even money can solve and when it does fail? The loan holders, banks, and executives in charge will find any way to sweep it under the table, blame others, or both.
part of the issue is the recession happened while building it.
Sunny doesn’t miss 🙏🏼🤘🏼
What hurts is Schumacher likely will never visit the island as he was put into a coma after a skiing accident and to this day isn’t fully recovered. #keep fighting Michael
dubai is just like my 2017 mc creative world, ambitious projects that were never finished
“The fake islands in one area raised the water temp by 7.5 degrees” No sea life would survive a catastrophic rise like that in the water temp.

Horrific just like the idiots who built it
The same bloke that came up with this grandiose plan also designed the Titanic.
I watched this videos and wow. It's so disturbing to see the marine life and environment had destroyed.
They can not be destroyed so easily
Western people are paying for it and endorsing this disaster all day long. Just look at the population of Dubai. Nearly 80% white from America and West-Europe. Dubai will keep destroying wildlife until they can expect rich assholes to buy the result.
Was a local around Dubai, I was always curious as to why they looked so lifeless when I browsed Google Earth. Turns out it’s a sad story of wacky finances, ethics, and inability to execute properly that was hiding behind them
Great vid, love that you tried something new.

Well I wasn't expecting this, but it did answer a nagging question I had in the back of my mind! I remember when this project was announced and they hyped it up to no end, back then I thought "Wow! This looks amazing!" then I heard nothing about it again until your video. Looking back on it now I'm honestly more shocked that the whole project hasn't just sunk beneath the waves.
Sunnyv2 can make any topic interesting
Dubai and it's fancy rich buildings are literally rich people being : yes I am doing this because I have money
While other people suffer
Sunny is always able to talk about stuff I have no idea about
@CLlTCHMurder wat
I love how deadpan sunny is. Whenever he says something funny the fact that he doesnt react makes it funnier
This is what stupidity does to the environment. Anyone who buys land on these sand piles deserves everything they get.
If there’s one place that deserved to be wiped off the face of the earth, it’s Dubai.
Insert Spec Ops: The Line joke here.
I never thought it was a good idea. It’s the ocean, the ocean will always win.
Its always a good day when Sunny uploads
This is when you make an animal crossing game. Terraform the whole island. Realize idea was dumb so you just delete the save and start over
cant wait to visit the swaglikeohio beach!
rich oil kids be like: arabs rule the world, meanwhile they cant even finish an island...
Learned about this in school 7 years ago when they were working on it. Sad it never lived up to the expectation
This is so satisfying to watch
I love this geographic content keep it up!
I've watched Sunny's videos for a while, and I still can't get over the production quality and all the research that goes into them, it is truly amazing.
except hoiw he refutes his own statements.
He doesn’t do proper research my man. He made a huge mistake in this video by saying that Michael Schumacher hasn’t said anything about the house that was gifted to him when he’s been in a vegetative state since 2013…
I discovered this channel last night at 3am… it’s now 2pm😂😂😂
😂
More time spent on TH-cam I love Dubai ❤

The 'world' project looks more like something you'd make in Cities Skylines with the landscaping tool
