The Palm Jumeirah is an
artificial island created using
land reclamation by
Nakheel, a company owned by the
Dubai government. It is one of three islands called
The Palm Islands which extend into the
Persian Gulf, increasing Dubai’s shoreline by a total of 520 km. The Palm Jumeirah is the smallest and the original of three
Palm Islands (Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira) under development by Nakheel. It is located on the
Jumeirah coastal area of the emirate of Dubai, in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Palm Jumeirah is in the shape of a
palm tree. It consists of a
trunk, a crown with 16
fronds, and a surrounding crescent island that forms an 11 kilometre long
breakwater. The
island is 5 kilometres by 5 kilometres and its total area is larger than 800
football pitches. The crown is connected to the mainland by a 300-metre bridge and the crescent is connected to the top of the palm by a subsea tunnel
. Over the next few years, as the tourism phases develop, The Palm Jumeirah is touted as soon to be one of the world’s premier resorts. The Palm Island is the self-declared 'Eighth Wonder of the World'.
