Didn't know Oman was building a botanical garden. Looks almost finished!

Covering 420 hectares, the Oman Botanic Garden will be the largest of its kind in the Arabian Peninsula and one of the largest in the world. The garden will conserve and celebrate Oman's botanic diversity within two biomes and surrounding external habitats, containing the country's most endangered and endemic flora.

Located at the foot of the Al Hajar Mountains, the site itself is one of only a handful of locations in the world where the ancient sea bed is visible, sitting 100 metres above sea level. The garden will also be home to a visitor centre and educational and research facilities, nestled within the natural ravines and ridges that traverse the site minimising disturbance to the existing terrain.

This is a Google Earth image from about six months ago. You can clearly see the progress there, the structure is rising.

MGM Resorts CEO Bill Hornbuckle says that its luxury non-gaming beachfront resort in Dubai is “a platform for a casino someday”.

In statements at the JP Morgan Forum: Strategic Growth and Innovation, Hornbuckle noted that, for the time being “we’re comfortable just having a management agreement to manage something we think is a real brand extender for now, and we’ll see”.

Analysts expect the UAE to allow one casino license per emirate in the future, with MGM strongly positioned to open a casino on the property if approved.
