DUBAI: Dubai is to build a replica of India's Taj Mahal and it will be several times the size of the one in Agra and will be a part of the Falconcity of Wonders (FCW) – a multi-purpose project being developed. “Taj Arabia” will be surrounded by lush green innovated landscaping, “including the famous Mughal Gardens and architecturally themed landmark buildings,” the company said during Cityscape Global 2012. The project comprises various residential and commercial buildings including a mega retail hub including jewellery souk (commercial quarter) and wedding boutiques. Link Global Group will develop this new landmark at Falconcity of Wonders that is described as ‘The World in a City' project. It will include several historical and modern icons of architecture from around the world such as Pyramids, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, Great Wall of China, and Leaning Tower of Pisa. Salem Al Moosa, Chairman and CEO of Falconcity, said: “Land of India will represent a key attraction in Falconcity as it includes high-end hospitality and commercial facilities that are set to host some of the major events in town, and we are honoured that Link Global Group will contribute to the success story of this project.”
