Mudon, which means ‘cities’ in Arabic, will incorporate the architecture of five historic Arab cities - Baghdad, Beirut, Damascus, Cairo, and Marrakech. The development will house almost 50,000 people and include a range of villas, town houses and apartments, as well as a 93-hectare golf course.
The 73 million square foot project is Dubai Properties’ largest to date. It is being developed in phases over a period of 5 years, with the first phase due for completion by 2009.
