The idea of building this island Palm was first announced in May 2002. It is expected that these three man-made artificial palm tree-shaped resort islands are expected to elevate Dubai’s position as a famous tourist destination. Recently the Palm Islands has also been named as “The Eighth Wonder of the World”.
The two Dubai islands, the Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Jumeirah are built in the shape of date palm trees and both of them consist of a trunk, 17 fronds each and a crescent island encircle the whole structure. The back portion of this island forms the breakwater. These islands together will house over 60 luxury hotels, 4,000 private residential villas, 1,000 outstanding water homes and 5,000 apartments on the shore, harbor, shopping malls, restaurants, water theme parks, health spas, sports facilities, cinemas and many other places created as diving sites.
The Palm, Jumeirah-Dubai or the the Jumeirah Palm island is a place of retreat and a residential area for living, relaxing and unwinding at the same time. The islands will also house some themed boutique hotels, three types of villas viz. Signature Villas, Town Homes and Garden Homes. The shoreline apartments are absolutely marvellous.
The Palm, Jebel Ali-Dubai, or the Jebel Ali Palm island is mainly an entertainment destination for both children and adults. This island will be made 50% bigger than The Palm Jumeirah, and will house six marinas, a ‘Sea Village’, one water theme park and water homes created on stilts in between the fronds and the crescent.
The Palm, Deira-Dubai or the Palm Deira islands were announced on the 5th of October 2004. The crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum planned for this island. |
