The Coral Island Resort will consist of three primary elements, including a specialist spa hotel, residential community and marina village. The resort will be spanning across 9.5 kilometres of newly created beachfront. The target date for project completion is 2010.

Dubai Islands Geographical Development – The World Islands

Dubai Islands presents Geographical Development – The World Islands

The World project in Dubai is redrawing the actual world map, adding 300 small islands into the Gulf Ocean and developing these man-made islands into luxury property holds meant for an exclusive clientèle. Each island ranges from five to twenty acres and is named after a country, region or major city. However, the archipelago does not rely heavily on boundaries, both in terms of politics and geography.
Dubai World

The World development's current status shows the American, European, African and Asian continents in a more broader perspective than just national borders and political pettiness. England is loosely subsumed into the UK, and so is Ireland, which is likely to raise a few eyebrows. The Middle East lacks Israel and Palestine, perhaps as a way of showing the widespread disapproval harbored by the rulers of the United Arab Emirates and most other Arab nations. Developers have reassured the geographically missing regions are not part of any deliberate motion to provoke any political issues.
Dubai World Construction

Although the geography is not exactly as we know it, this new 'World' will still consist of developments related to the specific region, country or city each of its named after. Investors are encouraged to follow this design pattern when they develop their sections of The World. There's a lot of creative freedom provided for the sub-developers, but the primary developer, Nakheel, believes keeping with the theme would be ideal. In other words, an investor who buys up Mexico would probably not be permitted to create a Chinese history themed project within the property.
Dubai World - Island Villa

Each island is sold for a price between $15 and $225 million (USD) and the high price range ensures these islands are only bought by the world's richest people. Some of the existing investors include F1 winner Micheal Schumacher, British stars Rod Stewart and David Beckham, celebrities Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, as well as several corporate groups interested in developing the islands further.

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.
Palm Jumeirah

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.
