In the Palm of Dubai It's incredible, burning, often over 40 degrees Celsius in the summer months. Part of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Dubai is a city in the middle of the desert. Where the pavement ends, sand begins and it stretches for kilometres and kilometres into the distance. Despite this harsh climate, the people of Dubai have turned their city into one of the world's most popular tourist resorts. (1) (2) There are five star hotels that you need special permission to visit. If you want to buy souvenirs, you can buy gold jewellery from a vending machine. The shopping malls are enormous palaces with every luxury product you could think of. One of the most famous is the Palm Island. This is an artificial island built in the sea right next to the city. It is the site of luxury homes and hotels, although it's not actually the best place to go sightseeing. It's only possible to see the palm shape from the air. (3). To build the Palm Island, the developers destroyed both a place where turtles lay their eggs as well as the only coral reef along the coast. The coral was an essential habitat for marine life and although there are plans to replace it with an artificial reef, the damage has already been done. (4) Large numbers of people are moving to live in Dubai and they all need water, something which is not easily available in the desert. The solution is to use desalination plants, factories which turn sea water into fresh water. These use enormous amounts of electricity and produce large amounts of CO₂. (5) On the one hand, we want to make pleasant places for people to live and exciting locations for tourists to enjoy. This creates jobs for people where there is no other work. On the other hand, development often equals destruction and the environment suffers as a result.
