1. Airport in Al Maktoum
Location: UAE’s Dubai
Total Expense: $82 billion * Completed Year: 2010
The nearly eight thousand weekly flights that are operated by about 140 airlines that depart from the Al Maktoum Airport each week reach more than 270 destinations. The over fifteen thousand-foot runway was constructed in just six hundred days, and its safety testing took nearly two-thirds of a year longer.

Once its development is finished, it will have the capacity to handle 260 million passengers annually, making it ten times larger than Dubai International Airport. As the greatest piece of the Dubai World Central puzzle when completed, the Al Maktoum Airport will occupy an astounding 110 square miles and, like its namesake, Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, will live on in Dubai for a very long time.
