Making a sand: A satellite image from space shows the enormous letters of the name 'HAMAD' carved into the sand on Al futaysi island in Abu Dhabi(dailymail.co.uk)

Every child has written their names on the beach at some point.

But whereas most people's 'sandwriting' is washed away, one super-rich Arab sheikh has ensured that his doodles will last a little longer.

Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, 63, has scrawled his name in sand on an island he owns with letters so big they can be seen from space.

The word 'HAMAD' measures 1,000 metres high and is a staggering two miles long from the 'H' to the 'D' on the Al Futaisi island.

And rather than allow the writing to be washed away by the ocean, the letters actually form waterways that absorb the encroaching tide. The ruler's name is even visible on Google's map service.

Hamad dreamed up the idea and had his workmen toil for weeks to craft the enormous piece of sand graffiti. It is not known how much it cost to make.

However, the sheikh boasts a personal fortune second only to the Saudi king's.

Hamad, also known as the 'Rainbow Sheikh', is a member of the Abu Dhabi Ruling Family.

He is understood to have some 200 cars including seven Mercedes 500 SELs painted in different colours of the rainbow which he stores in a giant pyramid.

The Arab sheikh has a taste for doing things on a large scale. He built the world's largest truck - eight times the size of the Dodge Power Wagon, with four bedrooms inside the cabin.

Hamad constructed a motor home in the shape of a giant globe which is exactly 1 millionth the size of the actual earth.

Alongside his lavish displays of wealth he has become a well-known philanthropist in medicine and supplied a complete kidney stone operating theatre to a public hospital in Morocco where he continues to fund its staff.

每個(gè)孩子都曾在沙灘上留名。

盡管絕大多數(shù)“沙灘簽名”都敵不過海水的沖刷,但一位超級(jí)富有的阿拉伯酋長(zhǎng)就能保證他的簽名停留得更久。

63歲的阿拉伯酋長(zhǎng)哈馬德?本?哈姆丹?艾?納赫揚(yáng)近日在其私人島嶼的沙灘上刻下“大”名,遠(yuǎn)至太空都能看到。

刻下的HAMAD五個(gè)字母字體高約為1000米,在阿芙泰斯島上從左向右綿延兩英里長(zhǎng),令人驚嘆。

為了不讓字跡被海水沖掉,字體本身就形成了一條條水道,可以吸收滲入的海水。字體之大,用谷歌地圖都能看到。

哈馬德自己想出了這個(gè)主意,工人辛苦工作數(shù)周,在沙灘上造出巨型簽名。目前,尚不清楚這項(xiàng)工程耗資多少。

但是,據(jù)該酋長(zhǎng)夸耀,其個(gè)人資產(chǎn)僅次于沙特國(guó)王。

哈馬德也被稱為“彩虹酋長(zhǎng)”,他是阿布扎比王族的成員。

據(jù)了解,他擁有大約200輛汽車,其中包括7輛顏色各異的奔馳房車500SELs,組成了彩虹顏色,收藏于一座巨型金字塔內(nèi)。

阿拉伯酋長(zhǎng)做事一貫求“大”。他制造了世界上最大的卡車,尺寸為道奇牽引卡車的8倍大,車內(nèi)還有4間臥室。

此外,他還制造了一個(gè)地球形狀的汽車房屋,大小正好占地球體積的百萬分之一。

除了大肆炫富,他在醫(yī)療領(lǐng)域還是一位著名慈善家。他為摩洛哥一家公立醫(yī)院捐贈(zèng)了整間腎結(jié)石手術(shù)室。此后,他還繼續(xù)資助員工工資。
