RAK Gateway Project

That's not a space port from a science fiction movie but it could certainly pass for one. It's actually a proposed landmark gateway to Ras Al-Khaimah, a city located in the desert of United Arab Emirates about 150 kilometers east of Dubai. It is the northernmost emirate of the UAE. The name means "Top of the Tent." A Norwegian architectural company named Snohetta will be designing the gateway. A PBS Show called Wide Angle has an episode that describes some of the plans for this desert city.
