Imagine this: a massive construction project showcasing only the finest commercialized representations and portrayals of the East, drawing from the classic tales of Aladdin and Sinbad. I'm talking about Disney World, right?

Think again.

Dubai promises to dazzle our senses yet again with its latest undertaking, Aladdin City . That's right, a development in honor of the West's favorite Oriental hero, who was originally mentioned (albeit briefly) in "1001 Arabian Nights," will soon become a new unique landmark of Dubai's constantly expanding metropolis.

Maybe StepFeed should plan to open their offices there?

According to Gulf News, the first phase of construction on the project began last year in Dubai Creek, near an area that is currently under consideration to become an UNESCO World Heritage Site .

Although the massive project will spread across 4,000 acres and feature six unique towers – the tallest being 34 levels – and contain parking for some 900 cars, the construction will reportedly not interfere with the hopeful world heritage site.

Some of the towers, as can be observed from the mock-up images, have been designed to resemble Aladdin's famous magic lamp. Extensive air-conditioned tunnels will connect the towers, of course include moving walkways, which some have dubbed "magic carpets."

The development will contain space for offices and at least one hotel. Who wouldn't want to stay in a modern Aladdin-style palace while visiting the Orient, right? Right?

Speaking in regards to the new undertaking, Director-General Hussain Nasser Lootah told Future of Dubai, "The project aims to develop towers to be the icons of legends of the past with a touch of beauty and tourism characteristic of the city. It comes in the prime location of Dubai Creek maintaining the activities of the port heritage."

He also maintained that the funding was available to finance the project, although many other ambitious building project's have been caught in the Dubai Municipality's pipeline for years.

Of course this isn't Dubai's first foray into folklore inspired landmarks. The Ibn Battuta Mall is a popular destination for both locals and tourists. It features uniquely designed sections inspired by the countries that the notable Moroccan explorer, Ibn Battuta, visited over the course of his travels in the 14th century.

Dubai is also well known for its unique architectural projects and developments, such as The World islands; the Burj Al Arab, the 'world's most luxurious hotel;' and the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.

So yeah, Aladdin City might be a bit absurd, but we still want to visit as soon as its open to the public. There seems to be no stopping the UAE in its development of tourism .
