Sheik Hamad name from space
“United Arab Emirates billionaire Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan has etched his name in the sand on Al Futaysi island in Abu Dhabi in such big letters it can be seen from space.
A satellite image from space confirms the enormous letters of the name “HAMAD” carved into the sand on Al Futaisi Island in Abu Dhabi. The name stretches a staggering two miles long and will likely be a permanent fixture on the distant island.
The island of Futaisi lies near the barrier island of Bahrani, in a shallow sheltered lagoon-type complex to the southwest of Abu Dhabi Island.Billionaire Sheikh Carves Name Hamad in Sand; Visible From Space
