The Mediterranean might be getting a new island. Lebanese businessman Muhammad Saleh, who built the Rose Tower, the tallest hotel in Dubai, is planning an artificial island in the shape of a cedar tree off Lebanon's coast. If Cedar Island gets built, it would be a new playground for wealthy Arabs full of luxury commercial and recreational facilities and villas for "VIP residents". It would also have hotels and a golf course for wealthy tourists and the visiting Lebanese diaspora.
