Anybody know what that big island laying across the bottom of the map is?

From the Yahoo picture link: "...has been started 4 kms (2.5 miles) offshore from Dubai in Gulf waters..." Looks pretty cool, feel bad for any coral reef they're going to be destroying. You can't just "rebuild" living habitats for thoursands of creatures.
