The Palm Islands, also referred to as The Palm Dubai and The Palms, are the world's two largest man-made islands, which are being built on the coast of the emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The project is being handled by Al Nakheel Properties (Nakheel Corporation), which will increase Dubai's shoreline by 120km (72 miles) and create a large number of residential, leisure, and entertainment areas. The idea was first announced in May 2002 and the two manmade freehold artificial palm tree-shaped resort islands are expected to maintain Dubai's position as a premium tourist destination. The Palm Islands has also be named 8th "The Eighth Wonder of the World".
The two Dubai islands, The Palm Jumeirah and The Palm Jebel Ali, will be built in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk; a crown with 17 fronds; and a surrounding crescent island - the back of which forms the breakwater. Collectively, the island will support more than than 60 luxury hotels, 4,000 exclusive residential villas (sale), 1,000 unique water homes (sale), 5,000 shoreline apartments (sale), marinas, water theme parks, restaurants, shopping malls, sports facilities, health spas, cinemas and various dive sites.
Its Development
The project took four years of methodical planning and exhaustive feasibility studies in Dubai, ensuring that the islands would not disrupting the environment. The first stage of the development of The Palm Islands, includes the construction of the land foundations, which involves sand transfer and rock placement. Following this, the next stage will involve the building of infrastructure and services, as well as the 300 meter (990 feet) bridges linking the islands to the mainland. The final stage consists of the construction of homes, townhouses, and apartments
The Palm Jumeirah & The Palm Jabal Ali project are considered as the 8th wonder of the world. At the palm, you can unwind, relax, recharge or reinvigorate whatever you needs, they will be met at the palm.
The Palm Jumeirah is located in the area opposite the Dubai Media City & Dubai Internet city. The Palm Jabal Ali would be 15 k.m. further towards Abu Dhabi & 10 k.m. away from the borders of Abu Dhabi. These projects would be the ultimate luxury lifestyle anyone would dream of. There are villas, penthouses and apartments. Owners will be able to select the style of the villa, the layout, and finishing in a way that would suit every taste.
The two islands would also have theme parks, shops, hotels and many other attractions that would make this place the ultimate destination for luxury, entertainment and relaxation.
All nationalities can have freehold ownership that comes with a residential visa in the UAE. Completion of this project would be in year 2005.
The Jumeirah Palm island is primarily a retreat and residential area for living, relaxation, and leisure. It will contain themed boutique hotels, three types of villas (Signature Villas, Garden Homes, and Town Homes), and shoreline apartments. Construction began on this island in June 2001 and is expected to be completed by late 2005, early 2006.
It was announced on the 5th of October 2004 by the crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, that a third man-made Palm Island will be built on reclaimed land off the coast of Dubai's Deira beach. The Palm Deira will be the largest of the three palm islands covering 14km (8.4 miles) in length and 8.5km (5.1 miles) in width. It will consist of residential property, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. The residential area will be located on the 41 fronds and will contain 8,000 two-storey villas/town houses in three distinct styles - Premier Villas, Grand Villas and Vista Town Homes.
