The Imagineering Vault - Attractions That Were Never Built

I've also found what appears to be concept art and maps for a Dubai Disneyland. From my research this was more of a proposal made to Disney by the developers of the massive Dubailand Entertainment Complex currently under construction. At the time, Disney was focused on building Shanghai Disneyland, the economy in Dubai was on the downward slide, and the site was literally a desert. The project did not go forward. Despite this, the art work is very nice. It's also interesting to note that the park does not have a Main Street USA, instead it starts with Fantasyland leading up to the castle then it has a Carsland/Pixar area to the left-hand side of the park and a Tomorrowland with Star Wars and Marvel Attractions to the right. On the upper right is the Jungle Cruise and what appears to be a tropical like tree village. The castle, despite having interesting Arabic flairs doubles as a hotel.
