Great update and good to see you about and posting when you can.

The man made island shape reminded me of something similar I did awhile ago and I must get back to it and finish it off.

Thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to seeing more updates.

Stay safe while you travel!

Today is our second and final visit to the Umm Suqeim district of Dhahran. Umm Suqeim has few buildings of note and is mostly just suburban sprawl with many residents choosing to live here and work in the nearby Business Bay District.

Please join us next time as we will visit the Business Bay District which will bring you what you have all been waiting for, futuristic skyscrapers rising from the desert sand.

Woah I love it!

Fantastic as always. I can't imagine the patience required to create those suburbs.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Hopefully I can post more regularly.

Business Bay is a central business district under construction in the Emirate of Dhahran. Business Bay is set between Sheikh Al Maktoum Road and the extended Dhahran creek. Thanks to the vision of Sheikh Maktoum and the marvels of modern engineering, it is now possible to have waterfront views in the middle of the desert! Business Bay is expected to be completed by 2020 and to become the financial hub of the Middle East.

Another great update!

Business bay looks amazing! Glassy skyscrapers with an ocean view! perfect!

Impressive update as always. I like how something simple like altering the direction of the placement of those three towers makes it look unique.

I definately hope to see you more around here after you showed us this

City_Master: Thanks for visiting - ocean front views in the desert is rather awesome.

Benedict: Those towers are such a fantastic BAT, they were exactly what I was looking for.

vivapanda: It is good to be back, hopefully my schedule will allow me more time to update.

SimCoug: Some great BATs are being churned out at the moment.

This night shot gives a good overview of the Business Bay development, stretching from the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Towers at the top of the shot to the Signature Towers at the bottom of the shot.

This shot captures the Vision Tower, The Bay Gate, One Business Bay, and the Tiara United Towers.

Another day in Dhahran is coming to an end, please join me next time as we continue following the Business Bay development and get closer to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.
