The Dubai construction juggernaut rolls on …

A new project called Falcon City will see grand replicas of some of the seven wonders (and some also rans) of the world, all positioned in the shape of a falcon when seen through an aerial view (???). There will be replicas of the Taj Mahal, the Grand Pyramid, the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning tower of Pisa and the Great Wall of China, all alongside reconstructions of Venice. These buildings will be used as commercial and residential structures, and will include eco-friendly condos, malls, restaurants with al fresco dining, and villas.

If the promotional video is anything to go by, all your visions of a cheesy Vegas in the Middle East might be coming true.
