discuss Beyond Dubai: Reem Island, Abu Dhabi. Don't Miss Out!

[$$Domainer]

I am going to tell you about a gigantic project going on in Abu Dhabi called Reem Island. This project is so huge 3 of the largest developers in the UAE(Tamouh, Sorouh, and Reem Investments) are building it. It is even bigger than The Pearl Qatar project that appeared in this forum last June.

- Reem Island is a combined residential, commercial and business project being built on a natural island off the coast of Abu Dhabi City and will be directly connected to Abu Dhabi City by a number of bridges. The location of Reem Island is only 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport.

- Reem Island will accomodate and estimated 280,000 residents. Some estimates go as high as 350,000!!

- Reem Island will contain Numerous hotels, resorts, beaches, spas, shopping malls, restaurants, medical clinics, many, many businesses, a 27 hole golf course, etc., etc.

- Just one of the business projects on Reem Island is Addax Port. By itself Addax is a massive port project which will contain 5 huge towers: an office tower and 4 other residential towers. And this is just one "small" part of Reem Island.

- Of course there will be tons of luxury condos and homes and villas, etc. to accomodate the huge number of residents of Reem Island.

- Reem Island will eventually be the "center" of Abu Dhabi which is the Richest of all the Emirates. Even richer than Dubai.

- Do a google search to get lots more info on Reem Island and here are a few sites to get you started: ReemIsland.com, AddaxPort.com, ReemInvestments.com. There are many more.

- There are still many good names left. I picked up:

ReemIslandProperties.com

ReemProperties.com

...but there are still many more left. As a domainer if you miss out on Reem Island you will never forgive yourself. Good luck and I hope this post was of help to you.

The Richest City in the World!

Here is a great article I just came upon entitled "The Richest City in the World." Which city? Dubai?? NO. Abu Dhabi?? YES!! It's really a terrific article from Fortune Magazine that I think all of you will enjoy. Goes nice with that article I posted earlier about how in 4 years Abu Dhabi will surpass Dubai in construction projects.

Is Bawadi going to be the equivalent to the US Disneyland? And what would be the repercutions of creating a domain with Bawadi in the domain name>

I go to their site and look @ their domain and it is BawadiTM.ae, basically Bawadi with a small TM mark by it. So I think one has to be careful here not to cause problems...

UAE Realty Boom To Continue Beyond 2015!!

Remember a few posts ago I said the biggest fear for the UAE was if the real estate boom implodes. Then I said don't be scared beacause I thought the boom would continue for a long, long time. Looks like I was right. This excellent article states that reports by both HSBC and Dubai's Damac Capital International see the boom continuing beyond 2015. So we have lots of time! I think the boom will go far beyond 2015, even beyond 2030!

Here is the article:

Nice find! The show will be called the Hydra Executives and will consist of 8 Americans and 8 British competing in different real estate challenges in Abu Dhabi and being judged by Dr. Sulaiman Al Fahim. Al Fahim is the CEO of Hydra Properties, a major developer in the Emirates. The show sounds great, like The Apprentice on steroids! Check it out here:

Anyone getting any hits on just the reem keyword (sans Al)?

My reemisland.tv is on the first page of yahoo and #1 in search for the term reem island
I'm hoping to do the same for google.com.







Has anybody contacted investors of reem island or of other projects and asked if they are interested in your domain names yet?

If so, what was their response?
