Dubai is a captivating metropolis with few of the most breathtaking architectural wonders on the planet. Dubai has successfully created and delivered the first and smallest man-made island, which is a component of the archipelago of Palm  Jumeirah Islands, despite having visions that were out of the usual.  Palm Jumeirah is a magnificent slice of paradise and a true engineering and design marvel.

Travelling to Palm Jumeirah Is a thrilling idea for those who live for opulent resorts, exquisite cuisine, and vibrant cultures. People from overseas want to spend their vacation days in places like Dubai because of the sheer grandeur of the architecture in such locations. You may arrange a trip to the Palm Islands in Dubai that will make your family holiday or Dubai honeymoon package very unforgettable! An artificial archipelago made up of the three islands Palm Jumeirah, Deira Island, and Palm Jebel Ali, whose combined surface area is 800 football fields. But only Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah Island is accessible to tourists.  

The artificial archipelago known as Palm Jumeirah, which is located in the United Arab Emirates Jumeirah coastline region, is recognised as the 8th wonder of the contemporary world. The Nakheel Group used land reclamation to construct Palm Jumeirah, a complex that reaches into the Arabian Sea for about 5 kilometres and is designed to resemble a date palm. It is part of a larger collection of buildings known as the Palm Islands. The Palm Jebel and  Deira man-made islands have extended Dubai’s shoreline by more than 320 miles. Palm Jumeirah is regarded world-famous man-made island and one of the riskiest engineering endeavours ever.

One of the world’s most pioneering projects and one of the major tourist destinations in Dubai is Palm Jumeirah, the first of the Palm Islands. This massive artificial island, which is easily seen from orbit, has fronds and a trunk. It features calm beaches, lavish villas, chic apartments, and several expensive hotels, including the well-known Atlantis- The Palm, UAE.

Important details about the development, the ideal time to visit, top sights to see, and locations to explore close to the Palm Islands in Dubai are included below:

5 Astonishing Information about Palm Jumeirah in Dubai:

  • A breakwater in the form of a crescent surrounds the Island:

What makes this island stand out as a must-see location in Dubai is its unusual palm tree shape with a crescent on top. The first part of The Palm to be built, this 11 km crescent-shaped island acts as a barrier to protect the island from strong currents during storms or typhoons. Three layers of rocks, each weighing up to six tonnes, were added to this breakwater to strengthen its longevity. These layers were placed on top of a geotextile membrane that keeps sand from washing away.

After the barrier was constructed, engineers found that fresh water was not entering the island effectively and that the water was becoming stagnant. In order to enable water to circulate and prevent it from becoming stagnant, the construction engineers of the Island in Dubai constructed a 100 m wide hole on either side of the crescent. One of the nicest spots to promenade in the evening while on your staycation in Dubai is along the demilune’s 6 m-wide boardwalk.

 

  • Dubai’s first monorail

Another amusing fact about Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, sometimes known as the palm tree island, is that a rail joints it to the main city. Tourists and locals in Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah enjoy it since it is an ecologically friendly transit system. This monorail runs from 9’o clock in the morning to 9.40 p.m respectively. Therefore, please arrange your travel itinerary appropriately if you want to ride this monorail while on a Dubai trip package.

 

  • The world’s eighth wonder

Not all of the marvels of the world date from the early or middle modern period. The Palm Islands in Dubai are one of the biggest megaprojects in history and are regarded as the eighth wonder of the world. Because so much rock, sand, and building supplies had to be brought to the archipelago, the creation of Dubai’s Palm Islands cost billions of dollars. Additionally, it is said that the Jumeirah’s been eroding at a pace of 5 millimetres per year!

 

  • Erected in only six years

The construction of Palm Jumeirah started in August 2001 and was completed six years later. It is currently regarded as one of the must-see sites in Dubai holiday packages because of the tranquil beaches, lavish villas, and fashionable structures that can be found on its seventeen fronds. A couple of Dubai’s well-known hotels and resorts may be located on Palm Jumeirah, including Atlantis Hotel, which actually adorns the crescent of the island, Trump International, a lavish 300-room hotel in the island’s core, Oceana Resort, Kingdom of Sheba, and Exotica Resort & Spa.

 

  • Using satellites

As the island is practically curved everywhere and requires pinpoint accuracy to form, a  satellite and GPS were employed to ensure that the island is in its necessary Palm shape. The mobile receivers served as an island’s grid reference while the satellite provided the location where the sand was to be placed. The dredgers would subsequently fill the sea region for which the satellite had given them instructions. For land reclamation, vibro-compaction technique was employed.
