Palm Jumeirah
About the AREA
Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island that follows the shape of a palm tree with sixteen symmetrical fronds where expensive villas, incredible hotels, a water park, and many kilometers of beautiful beaches are located.
The island is smaller than Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira, but Palm Jumeirah is the first of its kind. It is a famous symbol of the UAE along with Burj Al Arab and the Burj Khalifa. The world’s largest man-made island is also a world-famous brand that embodies Dubai’s unquenchable thirst to achieve what seems impossible. The island extends into the Arabian Gulf for five kilometers, and its creation took six years and USD 12,000,000,000 to build. Today the island occupies 560 hectares, which corresponds to the area of 600 football fields.
The current appearance of Palm Jumeirah was formed when the trunk began to house magnificent multi-story hotels, yacht clubs, theme parks, shopping and entertainment centers, as well as the fronds, which consists of luxury villas with personal access to the sea. To date, there are approximately 1,400 villas and 2,500 apartments situated on Palm Jumeirah.
