My Interesting Files
Dubai’s prominent developer, Emaar Properties said on Monday it plans to build one of the largest fountains in the world as the centrepiece of its Downtown Burj Dubai project. Arabian Business reveals what the real estate giant has in store.
World’s Largest Fountain in Dubai
This is the latest story on the site. It’s not my all-time favorite (I’ll share that one in a minute). But it has some of the best images of any onsite! What do you think of this image? Breathtaking!
I like the story about The Deepest Swimming Pool in the World:
The pool has two large flat-bottomed areas at depth levels of 5m (16 ft) and 10m (32 ft), and a large circular pit descending to a depth of 33m (108 ft). It is filled with 2,500,000 litres of non-chlorinated, highly filtered spring water maintained at 30 degree Celcius (86 degree Fahrenheit) and contains several simulated underwater caves at the 10m depth level.
And I like the video about Door To Hell in Antarctica. However, I don’t usually recommend videos as they load slowly, link to megasites, and often don’t work. AND this article has a sensationalistic title (ie. this story isn’t about HELL).
On the upside, this site has more images than videos (plus the aforementioned video is REALLY worth seeing). And it’s generally “what you think you’re going to read when you read the title is what you get when you read the article” (it’s not a site about hype or a come-on site that tries to trick visitors into visiting just to sell a product or a page-view).
In fact, I’m shocked that there are (relatively) so few comments. Each article inspires, in me, such awe! And anyone who takes the time to read an article must surely be moved to say something about it. Though they seem not to be so moved. Excepting, I’m guessing, people are so busy that they don’t take the time necessary to really check out what different sites have to offer (sadly).
To illustrate: I’m going to share another couple of images. And that’s something I never considered doing before since images increase page-loads and generally are superfluous to the content. These are from Invitation from the Groom’s Mother.

Now You See!
Just to show the wide range of topics on this site. Some are funny. Some are serious. Ok, only some are sensationalistic. ALL are interesting (good site title).
On a final note, these stories are not “original”. They’re shared from other places. And some people have a problem visiting blogs where they find content that can be found somewhere else online. I don’t have that problem. I like concept sites (as I’ve said before). And this site has an ORIGINAL CONCEPT. Plus, the author’s personality is evident in the topics chosen (I won’t go on-and-on about this pet-peave of mine). Anyway, if you want to search out all of these items using Google, go ahead. Personally, I like this site and I’m thankful that the author goes through the trouble of finding such great stories and sharing them with his visitors.
Nice site design, by the way!
