Refrigerated Beach in DuBai

December 16, 2008


Having the tallest building in the world is not the only thing keeping DuBai fresh these days…how about a refrigerated beach to keep you cool on those 122 degree summer days? The plan is to install cooling pipes beneath the sand, refrigerate the water in the pool and even have a gentle breeze on the shore. Rule #2 in the Freshtoid employee manual (see Rule #1 here): Anyone who is cooling sand and changing weather patterns always gets a hats off from the Freshtoid staff…Palazzo Versace and your freshest beach in world, we salute you.

UPDATE: World’s Tallest Building

October 13, 2008


Dubai might want to rethink their construction of their version of the World’s Tallest Building because Saudi Arabia is already promising to construct a building that is even higher. Saudi Prince Al-Waleed announced his plans to construct a Kingdom City development project in the city of Jedah. Few details have been released, not even a concept design, but Al-Waleed says it will be taller than the Dubai building and that it will cost over $26.7 billion. Perhaps Dubai will consider placing a really, really tall flag on top in order to maintain the record. More information click here.
