The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
07 December, 2007

The Palm Jumeirah is one of the most incredible Mega Projects in world history. Some call it the eighth wonder of the world! Being developed by Nakheel, it is also one of the most well known of the UAE Mega Projects. I remember when I first saw the plan for The Palm back in 2001! I never thought Dubai, or anyone else, could build such an amazing manmade island. But Dubai did it-- and is building 2 other Palm Islands as well! Today I will cover only the Palm Jumeirah beacause this Palm Island is the most developed of the three.

The Palm Jumeirah is built in the shape of a gigantic date palm tree, with a trunk, 17 fronds and a crown all surrounded by a crescent island that acts as a water break. The Palm is an ultra high luxury residential and resort development that offers a wide variety of mansions, villas, apartments, condos and town homes.

The Palm Jumeirah will be home to some of the most luxurious residences, hotels and resorts anywhere in the world including:

- Palm Trump Hotel and Tower. Even the great Donald Trump Is part of Palm Jumeirah!

- The Atlantis Hotel. This hotel/resort is an amazing fantasy world unto itself.

- Fairmont Palm Residence. Ultra Luxury residences.

- Palm Golden Mile Residences. A beautiful stretch of 700 apartments all on the water. The Golden Mile will also contain some of the most expensive shops in the world.

- Marina Residences. Six luxury buildings located on the water.

- The Emerald Palace. A 7 Storey showplace featuring beautiful neo classical architecture. It really does look like a palace.

- There will even be a monorail that goes directly into The Palm!

...and there is more to The Palm Jumeirah! Much more! Here are some links so you can see for yourself:
