[00:00:00]Dubai did not just build skyscrapers on land. It also built entire islands in the sea.

[00:00:08]The process starts with dredging, where special ships suck sand from the seabed.

[00:00:15]That sand is sprayed into shallow water, layer by layer, until new land starts rising.

[00:00:22]But loose sand is weak, so engineers compact it tightly to make the ground stable.

[00:00:29]Then, giant rocks are placed around the island, creating a barrier against strong waves.

[00:00:35]So, Dubai's sea islands are not floating to burden. They are built from sand, rock, machines, and engineering.
