Emaar, the Dubai developer of the world's tallest skyscraper, is trying to get the people in London to buy properties in the United Arab Emirates' city.

It is doing that is by transforming the second floor of the world famous department store Harrods in London into a "mini Dubai" to showcase what they can snap up for a surprisingly low price.
