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 consists of a trunk, a crown with 17 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.
Every villa on the Palm Jumeirah Island has swimming pool and a beach view. How
awesome.
