The Palm Jumeirah is a man-made archipelago off the coast of Dubai, UAE, known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Launched in 2001, the project was created by reclaiming land to create a unique design in the shape of a palm tree, consisting of a trunk, 16 branches and a wrap-around breakwater.
The giant island extends 5.5 kilometers into the Persian Gulf and is 5 kilometers wide, with a total area equivalent to 800 soccer fields. It is connected to mainland Dubai by a 300-meter-long bridge and is the first of Dubai's three Palm Islands planned to be completed.
The island is home to a number of luxury hotels, including the landmark Atlantis Hotel with its water park and Dolphin Cove. 8,000 oceanfront villas and apartments are spread out over 17 lobes, with a large shopping mall and the monorail monorail system in the center.
As Dubai's premier tourist destination, The Palm Jumeirah attracts millions of visitors annually, significantly boosting Dubai's tourism revenues. Its innovative engineering design and luxury living experience make it an exemplary example of modern mankind's transformation of nature.
