Major land reclamation in the United Arab Emirates, though a relatively recent phenomenon, has significantly changed the geography of many parts of the country. Some of the largest and most innovative land reclamation projects have occurred in the UAE. Countless land reclamation projects, both completed, under construction, and planned, have changed the appearance of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other emirates and helped to make them world-famous. ==History== Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi has done extensive land reclamation in recent years. One reclamation method used in Abu Dhabi is filling in low-lying coastal salt flats. Several industrial areas have been built in these areas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=49267 )〕 Yas Island, Al Reem Island, and Lulu Island are a few examples. Ajman There have been proposals to reclaim land from the sea in Ajman. However, many have been rejected due to environmental concerns.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.emirates247.com/eb247/companies-markets/construction/ajman-waterfront-to-help-put-city-on-tourist-map-2010-04-05-1.102810 )〕 Dubai Land reclamation in the emirate of Dubai has made it one of the most recognizable areas in the world. Dubai is perhaps most well known for land reclamation projects such as the Palm Islands, the World Islands, the Dubai Marina, and the Burj Al Arab. Most major land reclamation projects in Dubai have occurred in the past fifteen years, and the Burj Al Arab hotel, which is built on a man-made island, was started in 1994 and completed in 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://famouswonders.com/burj-al-arab-in-dubai/ )〕 Ras Al Khaimah The emirate of Ras Al Khaimah has also joined the race to build new land reclamation projects. Such projects include Al Marjan Island and its Real Madrid Resort Island. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Land reclamation in the United Arab Emirates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
