Dubai Islands - Infrastructural Developments – The Palm Jumeirah

The Palm Jumeirah is often promoted as a prime property destination for luxury residences and commercial towers, but the foundation of it all is in the elaborate infrastructure, which is rarely discussed. Since the development is located approximately four kilometres away from the main land, there's a lot of advanced infrastructural work done to provide the ultra luxurious facilities offered at the Palm Jumeirah.

IGY Anchor Marina
The main marina for access into the Palm Jumeirah island has the capacity for 700 or more yachts and megayacht docking. The high standard facility also provides retail, dining, clubhouse and special events venues, along with beautiful sea views and modern berthing services. Managed by th Island Global Yatching (IGY) company, the Palm Jumeirah's Anchor Marina will have two complementary marinas located on either side of the island's Trunk.

Monorail
The Monorail is developed with the aim of providing convenient accessibility to the Palm Jumeirah island's various sites and attractions. Starting from the Gateway Station located on the Trunk and extending to the Atlantis Station on the Crescent, the Monorail is a 5.4 kilometre transport system. The rail tracks will pass through the island's Trunk, Fronds and Crescent, with intermittent stops at the Trump International Hotel & Tower and the Luxury Retail Centre.

The Park
Flanking the sides of the iconic Trump International Hotel & Tower, a 7-hectare recreational park will be the centrepiece of Palm Jumeirah's attractions.

Sub-Sea Tunnel

The Sub-Sea Tunnel is a 1.4 kilometre long, 6-lane underwater tunnel. Built as the chief transportation connection between the main Palm Jumeirah section and the circumferential Crescent, the Sub-Sea Tunnel accommodates 3 lanes per traffic direction and is equipped with service/emergency cell as well.

Logo Islands
Besides the main Palm Jumeirah development, there are two identical artificial islands measuring 4.9 million cubic feet built in the shape of The Palm trademark logo (a liberal palm leaf design) located on either side of the Trunk. These two islands are personally owned by the Vice President & Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Dubai Islands - Community Developments – The Palm Jebel Ali

From the three massive Palm Island developments, the Palm Jebel Ali is the second largest, 50% larger than Palm Jumeirah, but much smaller than the newest Palm Deira Island. Heavily inclined towards residential property and luxury tourism, the real estate developments on the Palm Jebel Ali includes six marinas, a water theme park, water homes built on stilts and a 'Sea Village.'

Among these impressive constructions, the 1060 water homes have gained a lot of curious interest, because they are built on stilts above the water and, when looked at from an aerial perspective, form an Arabic verse written by the Ruler of Dubai. The luxurious water homes are spread across a 12km chain between the Palm's Fronds and Crescent. Built to be recognized as retreat homes, these water homes will have concrete foundation poles and wooden structures. Each home will be of 3875 square feet, consisting of 4 bedrooms, and located approximately 8 to 10 metres above the water level. A common parking area and private moorings for personal boats are also available along the boardwalk.

The Palm Jebel Ali's Trunk will house a Sea Village, spanning 2.4 kilometres in length and 450 metres in width. The Sea Village is a bona fide sea aquarium, with killer whales and other deep-sea wildlife for the public to enjoy. It's expected to be a hit among the young and old tourist alike and has eight hotels of eight-story height located in the vicinity.

The Crescent (15.5km in length) forms the island's breakwater. The Palm Jebel Ali Crescent has a few residential properties, but is mostly a community for boutique hotels, resorts and exclusive marinas. As a whole, the Palm Jebel Ali development will include 200 Signature Villas, Garden Home and Town Homes, as well as 1060 Water Homes and numerous luxury apartment buildings.

An Introduction to Dubai Palm Islands

Dubai Islands presents An Introduction to Dubai Palm Islands

Dubai's Palm Islands are the world's biggest artificial island clusters. They are sometimes known as the eighth wonder of the world. These are positioned at 3 diverse places across Dubai's coast. They are Jumeirah, Jebel Ali and Deira.
Dubai Palms

These islands, better known as The Palm Dubai or Dubai Palm, are covered with rocks and sand up to a 10 metre bottomless seabed. Sand required to lay these locates is found by dredging the nearby sea. The Belgian dredging firm Jan De Nul and its Dutch complement Van Oord are monitoring the entire procedure.
Palm Jumeirah

Works at Jumeirah and Jebel Ali are at an advanced stage and in the Deira section, it has picked up in early 2008.

Dredging ships thrust sand in an area, and this is determined by the ordinates of Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). This procedure is known as rain-bowing. The name is thus given because an arc is formed when sand is strewn here and there.
Jebel Ali

Each Dubai Palm has a breakwater built at its border, which furnishes a severance from the muddy seawaters. These seawalls are built by placing quite a lot of levels of rocks over the ocean floor by watercrafts. The Jumeirah Palm itself called for an astonishing 7 million tons of rocks to build its sea wall.
Palm - Jebel Ali

Every Dubai Palm Island is intended to portray a date palm tree, with a stem, a crown and quite a few fronds. The hemispherical islands at the fringe are allotted to play the role of sea walls. The building of the Palm Jebel Ali started by Jan De Nul in 2002 and was finished by the end of 2006. It needed a 4 km elongated neck of land to be constructed, enclosed by a 200m wide and a 17 km long bulwark. Around 135,000,000 m³ of rock, sand and limestone were required to reclaim this island and around 5,000,000 m³ of rocks were required for expanding the slope.
Deira Palm

Dubai Palm islands are sure to enhance Dubai's scoastline distance by an extra 520 km. It will horde water idea parks, extravagance hotels, shopping malls, independent villas, equipped beach flats, health spas and related amenities. Sheikh Maktoum's dream was to see Dubai develop in free trade and sightseeing, and these islands were conceptualised with this idea. The major UAE property developer, Nakheel Properties, is monitoring the developmental process of this massive scale project.
