I'd like to know if this is the correct Arabic translation for the project. IMHO time will lend this domain much potential if the translation is correct, otherwise I guess I regged a dud. :( It would be a long hold as the project is expected to complete in 2020 although the name could start taking off once each phase is completed and people start moving in.

I've looked through news articles at Google News (Arabic version) and most of the articles seem to reference a major development project like this which is a good sign. It would be especially appreciated if you can leave a comment if you are an native/fluent Arabic speaker, as I understand the language is very complex.

Thank you.
