Strange 400 ft wide Metallic Domes buried in the desert (pics)

Is it possible these are solar panels to generate electricity?

It looks more like the road comes from where the suspected "underground passageway" is, rather than the other way about. Would make more sense to me aswell, as to get to that underground tunnel you would first need to be inside the "complex". Ito appears that the road spirals round the complex to get to an entrance?

I think its all water related.... its only just off the Sheikh Zayed road.

Looking around you can see older versions of potentially the same tech. Most of the Sheikh Zayed road is beautifully planted and has mega irrigation being it runs through the desert.

They will need good strong wipers to wipe away sand as they drive underground on that road

Yeah, another good point. But that sand looks fairly recent. They probably have to clean it off on a fairly regular basis.

What is a Raod anyway?

lol, it's an anomalous road. haha, no, it's the result of me not paying attention.

Could the intersecting 'roads' be pipelines just under the sand?
I read somewhere that there was a large pipeline network recently constructed to bring crude oil to the Indian ocean. Maybe has something to do with that?

Looking at the shape of those building though it does make sense that they would lead underground but even in that case, why on a grid network?

They inspire more questions than answers thats for sure.
Are there any populated or commercial areas near them?

Each of the "grid" areas are fenced in. When you zoom all the way in you can seethe fences. Also there seems to be a type of heliport off to the SE of the "domes".

This is either for water or petroleum

Gigantic time capsules.

I'm not sure if this is anything, but there is an image taken in the area (you know people can post images to Google Earth), it appears to be people on a so called Safari. But driving in the opposite direction is a bunch of white suv's:

In-fact I drove down there a couple of months back and there is no security stuff, just lots of water towers. From the road you only see a concrete structure to contain the water and could not see any of the 'metallic' structure.

They don't look like domes, they look more like craters.

The road spirals downwards, not up.

Looks like it to me anyway.

As a guess, i'd say it was either fresh water storage for the new 'island' developments UAE have built, or sewerage.

May even be underground oil storage.

Or could be doomsday bunkers for the rich that will be buying the multimillion $ apartments and private islands in the area.

Unless we get someone stop by who actually lives there, or has worked on these things (or knows someone who has), we're only guessing.

Great point, but i don't think it is an underground passage way. It looks as though the suspicious dark line near the start of the ramp is a dirt road of some sort, which would mean that all of the lines in the grids are roads. Perhaps there are more to be constructed, or they just wanted the area to look awesome.

they are IMHO - part of an irigation structure - follow the " grid " WNW towards the road - ypu can see the start of planting and development

It is elevated not depressed. You can tell this from the shadowing.

Here's a large pic of another one which shows us the structure from a different angle. It sort of creates an optical illusion:

I still have no idea what this is, but I think I found the older/original style.

Not sure what this is either, but found it in a nearby area. Just seems strange so thought I would share.

If you re-read my post you will see that I dont think its an underground passageway either. =]

In regards to your other point....they OBVIOUSLY just wanted to make it look awesome. Haha =P

There's a complex SE of there that has a soccer field.
