Coming soon in Dubai: 4 times bigger Taj Mahal replica

October 04, 2012 12:32

Developers in Dubai are reportedly planning to construct a replica of the famous Taj Mahal, which would be over four times bigger than the original monument.

Developers said that Taj Arabia, an imitation of the 360-year-old marble mausoleum that took Mughal emperor Shah Jahan almost 22 years to build, would be constructed in a span of just two years.

The billion-dollar project will be set in the heart of the 41-million square foot Falcon City of Wonders on the Emirates Road. Developers said that Taj Arabia would be symbolic of 'love and romance' just like the Taj Mahal and would celebrate the union of couples by serving as the world's grandest wedding destination.
