Some people have nothing better to do with their money!

Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Haman Bin Hamde Al Nahyan ordered the name "HAMAD" to be carved into the sand so large that it can be seen from space. The name is etched into an island called Al Futaisi, which he owns. "HAMAD" is carved two miles across and half a mile wide. The first two letters, and part of the third, are now waterways. The 63-year-old Sheikh is a member of the Abu Dhabi ruling family and his fortune is only second to King.
