Dubai Palm Tree Islands Dubai
Palm Tree Islands Dubai, are the palm shaped
islands that are being developed in the shores of Dubai, by the famous
developers, Nakheel Properties. These are called palm tree islands because they
are being constructed in the shape of a palm tree, with crown, trunk and fronds.
All three islands of Palm Jumeirah, Palm Diera and Palm Jebel Ali are together
known as Palm islands. The developers believe that once the construction on the
islands is over, they will surely be the eighth wonder of the world. It is no
doubt that with the completion of these islands, Dubai will undoubtedly
maintain its foothold of being the top tourist destination of the world.
Every Palm Tree Island has been planned with years of meticulous planning and
thinking. The other factor was to ensure that there was minimum harm to the
environment. It took almost four years for the plans to get finalized for this
project. It is estimated that after the completion of the development of the
island, the islands will increase the beaches of Dubai city by more than 520
kilometers. As per plans, each settlement will resemble a palm tree. It will
have a trunk along with a crescent. In each of these islands, there will be a
lot of scope for entertainment, leisure, and residential areas.
As per the plans, the first two islands will have several millions of tons of
sand and rock. The third island – Palm Diera will have almost 1 billion cubic
meters of sand and rock. All the three islands will have every amenity and
facility for the convenience and comfort for the guests. The islands are well
connected with each other through air transport and bridges, which were
developed in the second phase of construction. These islands will have more
than 100 luxury hotels, several comfortable and luxurious apartments and villas,
entertainment scope for residents and tourists in the form of shopping malls,
health spas, restaurants, water-theme parks, as well as sports facilities. The
island consists of every kind of amenity that a tourist may look for any
tourist spot. Each Palm Tree Island will surely be shoppers and tourists’
paradise.
The construction work on the beautiful Palm Tree Island Jumeirah started in
June 2001. Just after this reclamation work on the other island, Palm Jebel Ali
was announced and the reclamation work started. The construction work on the
third island, Palm Diera, started in October 2004, which involved a total area
of 46.35 sq kilometer. As per the construction plans of the developers,
construction and development work on all the three islands was planned to take
ten to fifteen. However, due to the recent global crisis, the project has been
delayed a bit. It is expected that development and construction will resume
soon.
Though many houses have already been sold to many families, still many homes
are yet to be rented or purchases. As on date, more than 500 families are
living in the Palm Tree Island and enjoy some of the best living conditions
that one can imagine.
