The Palm Jumeirah is quite possibly the world’s most extraordinary feat of engineering, architecture and construction. Palm Jumeirah is the most attractive a clossal man made Island contsructed in the Date Palm shape constructed in Arabian Gulf within 5 KM in Dubai.
After spending around US$13 billion, and with the help of approximately 40,000 workers, the world’s largest man-made island was ready to welcome people who wanted something different. Within just six years, 75% of all planned residential properties were ready to be sold and occupied and more than 500 families had already moved in.
During the two years that followed, a total of 28 hotels had also opened on Palm Jumeirah, but these were restricted to the island’s crescent which serves as a breakwater. Interestingly, from an aerial view, the palm and its crescent shaped breakwater don’t appear to be connected, but they actually are connected by an underwater tunnel.
