About Palm Jumeirah
Palm Jumeirah by Nakheel, is one of the world’s largest man-made islands and a world-famous symbol of Dubai’s energy, growth and ambition.
Palm Jumeirah developed by Nakheel
Created and master developed by Nakheel, the world-famous and award-winning Palm Jumeirah is one of the world’s largest man-made islands, covering 560 hectares of land. Palm Jumeirah is a landmark in engineering shaped like a date palm – the national plant of the UAE – with luxury residences, retail and leisure facilities across three main areas – the trunk, crescent, and fronds.
Launched in 2001, in line with the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the iconic and award-winning Palm Jumeirah was more ambitious than anything that had previously been undertaken, anywhere in the world. Stretching 5 kms into the Arabian Gulf in the shape of a date palm – the national plant of the UAE, Palm Jumeirah is a vibrant and ever-growing residential, tourism, and leisure destination with three main areas – the trunk, crescent, and fronds.
