Palm Islands
PALM ISLANDS, DUBAI
The Palm Islands in Dubai are three large artificial islands, currently being constructed by Nakheel. Each settlement will be in the shape of a palm tree topped with a crescent and will have residential communitites and resorts.
Such examples of reclaimed land are made feasible in the area by the wide continental shelf off the Dubai coast, with the Persian Gulf at a shallow depth.
 The Palm, Jumeirah had construction started in June 2001 and expected completion time is late 2005 to early 2006. There are plans for three five star hotels with international themes to be built on The Palm, Jumeirah: Okinawa, Brazil, and Venice, recreating the ambiance of these places to be built on the crescent of this settlement.
The Palm, Jebel Ali was begun in October 2002 and expected completion time is late 2007. It includes boardwalks which circle the 'fronds' of the 'palm', spelling out a verse of poetry in Arabic, which reads: "Take wisdom from the wise - It takes a man of vision to write on water - Not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey - Great men rise to greater challenges."
The Palm, Deira began construction in November 2004. The Deira Palm is set to be the largest of the three Palms.
The islands will be built by a Dutch company from 80 000 000 m3 landmass from the approach channel.
