I'm guessing some oilmoney manmade structure in Dubai.

damn you people, I seriously fired up Google Maps and was checking out Dubai. I wish I had actually said it before doing that, I never figured anybody would guess that

edit: and by Google Maps I mean Google Earth

Burj Dubai was my first thought, but I thought it was taller, so that might not be the place. The burj dubai is that sailboat-shaped hotel, right?

You guys all got close really quickly. It's actually in Kuwait. If someone can tell me an easy way to post the coordinates I'll do that.

Did you try checking any of the overlays in Google Earth? Some of them have links to info about different sites. It's possible that someone has posted info about that place.

I started this little map-challenge thing just using Google Maps, but I've been playing around with Google Earth since then, and it's quite an amazing little program.

I scanned a lot of coastline near Dubai (before you posted), didn't see it, and gave up. But I'm not surprised to hear it's close to there.
