You can always count on Dubai. The Emirate is spending its dirhams on "Aladdin City" - a massive, Nights inspired building that's going to enhance the creek with shopping and a hotel.
According to the Director General of Dubai Municipality the towers will be “icons of legends of the past with a touch of beauty and tourism characteristic of the city.”

And from Emirates 24/7 -
"The project, which was announced in April 2014, will have three towers, comprising commercial and hotel space, with the towers spread over a distance of 450 metres on Dubai Creek. The total cost has not been revealed.
It will have air-conditioned bridges with moving floor to connect the towers, driveways and parking lots. Moreover, the shape of the bridge that will link the buildings represents the form of exotic marine life such as dragon and snakes."
