It all started in Dubai with the Palm islands, followed by the Pearl island in Qatar, and soon we might have the Cedar Island here in Lebanon at the cost of Damour!
Covering an area of 3.311.731.60 squared meters in the touristic coastal area of Lebanon, the Cedar Island lends itself as a luxurious residential, commercial, and touristic project. Its geographical location along the Lebanese coast allows it to play a vital role in attracting tourists and VIP residents looking for an exotic lifestyle or escaping from the city.
I’ve read about this project in different new sources and to my knowledge there are still some doubts about realizing it. However, if you check the project’s website, you notice like the project is on its way to be started.
An interesting project indeed, but the question is: What is the enviromental cost for this artificial Cedar Island??
Updates:
- There are a couple of groups on Facebook, one supporting the project, and the other is opposing it.
Via Nihil Declaro. - I tend to agree with this guy, who wrote a post titled “The island of Dr. Moron“.
- Check this interesting article about the environmental cost of the artificial islands in Dubai, the article is followed by a response by an environmental scientist from the Nakheel project of Dubai.
Hi
their is a cause on facebook to ‘Say NO to the Cedars Islands and the destruction of what is left of our eco-system”
Wooww. Cool!
Greetings everyone, This webpage is exceptional and so is how the matter was expanded. I like some of the comments too although I would prefer we all maintain it on topic in order add value to the subject.
May God save Lebanon and its Cedars… before performing such a big project, let Dr. Saleh cool up our hearts, and tell us how he will re-start his canadian village project.Mr. jmayyel,saed told me that Canadian village is the axis of Alnoor Projects in Lebanon. If this failed then all will be failed too.
