The Palm
Projects
The Palm involves the creation of the world's largest two man-made islands
known as The Palm, Jumeirah and The Palm, Jebel Ali. Located just off the
coast of the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the two palm tree
shaped islands are expected to contribute to the city's position as a premier
global tourist destination. The project will increase Dubai's shoreline by a
total of 120km and create a large number of residential, leisure and entertainment opportunities, all within a unique and inspiring setting.
The creation of The Palm is an extraordinary project of grand proportions.
Comprised of approximately 100 million cubic meters of rock and sand, the
islands together will eventually support over 60 luxury hotels, 4000 exclusive
residential beachside villas, over 5,000 shoreline apartments, marinas, water
theme parks, restaurants, shopping malls, sports facilities, health spas, dive
sites and cinemas.
The vision of The Palm was conceived by His Highness General Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defence Minister. Construction commenced in June 2001 after many years of
research and planning. Each island will take approximately two years to be
completely raised from the sea. A further two to three years will be required
to complete the infrastructure and the buildings. The end-result will be the
creation of two virtually self-contained communities within the islands. |
