OQYANA World First

OQYANA World First is an island community part of THE WORLD off the cost of Dubai that is unlike anywhere else on Earth. The 20 Islands which make up OQYANA have been reclaimed from the pristine waters of the Arabian Gold to maximize their shoreline frontage. This is the first time ever that islands have been created in this way. It ensures that OQYANA residents have the option to access a private beach and an entirely separate yacht mooring directly from their homes. OQYANA will define for the Twenty-first Century the pinnacle of how it is possible for human beings to live. It will set new standards in everything it does. It will recast the way Dubai is seen forever. And in doing so, it will truly be ‘world-first’.
