Arabian Canal

In the latest mega-development to hit Dubai, property firm Limitless on Tuesday announced a $61 billion project to build an 75-kilometre canal and an extensive waterfront development in the emirate.

The Arabian Canal will flow inland from Dubai Waterfront in Jebel Ali and pass to the east of the Dubai World Central development before turning back towards the Palm Jumeirah.

The canal will be up to 150 metres wide, six metres deep and cost around $11 billion.

Designed to serve one million people, the development will include marinas, residential communities and business centres serving over a million people.
