Sheikh Hamad carves two-mile-long name in sand
An Arab sheikh has carved his name out 1,000 metres high and two miles long, on an island he owns - making his moniker the only one visible from SPACE.
63-year-old Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan had workers cur the 'HAMAD' part of his name into the sand of Al Futaisi island in the massive letters.
After coming up with the barmy idea, his workers are said to have spent several weeks digging out the sand to create the bizarre name-shaped waterways.
While most people are in awe of the inscribed island we want to know why he didn't have his entire name carved in the sand… maybe he just needs a bigger island.
This isn't the only show of extravagance for Sheikh Hamad, he owns more than 200 cars including a seven Mercedes 500 SELs painted in the colors of the rainbow.
