United Arab Emirates islands are bulk. Magnificent Dubai. Palm Islands. Palm Jumeirah - a modern oriental fairy tale

Palm Jumeirah is the first and most compact of the three artificial Palm Islands, built in the shape of stylized palm trees off the coast of Dubai - largest city United Arab Emirates. Two other similar objects - the Jabal Ali and Deira Palms - were started a little later, a year and three years later, respectively.

Construction of the Palm Jumeirah began in mid-2001. The work was carried out by an Arab development company founded a year before the start of the large-scale project. Its name - Nakheel - translated from Arabic means “palm tree” or “palm tree”. Five and a half years later, at the end of 2006, the territory of the bulk island was ready for a phased transfer for development and settlement. For various reasons, the date was repeatedly moved, as a result of which the planned time frame increased by a couple of years.

Description of Palm Jumeirah

Conventionally, the island is divided into three sections:

  • "trunk";
  • "crown";
  • "crescent".

The "trunk" is the central part of Palm Jumeirah. In its thickened part, connected to the mainland by a 300-meter bridge, there are multi-storey buildings with associated infrastructure. There are shops, clubs, cafes, restaurants, beaches, beauty salons and other things necessary for modern life establishments and institutions. Along the entire “trunk” there are highways, and in the center there is a monorail. A car tunnel built under water and a bridge designed for the movement of monorail trains lead to the “crescent” from the top of the palm tree.

The “crown” consists of 16 palm branches. In the center of each of them is laid highway, along which there are two rows of private villas. The planned distance between houses was reduced during construction work, thereby increasing the number of objects. The density turned out to be too high, which caused dissatisfaction among those who bought real estate in the initial stages. However, almost no one abandoned the houses. Apparently, a fresh breeze and own access to the sea turned out to be more important than the close presence of neighbors.

The “Crescent” functions as a breakwater barrier that protects the interior of Palm Jumeirah from destruction. According to the design, it was inextricable, but the lack of natural movement of water in the artificially surrounded water area foreshadowed the emergence of stagnant processes. Making two gaps in the 11-kilometer breakwater helped solve the problem.

The territory of the “crescent” is occupied by hotels, hotel residences, as well as resort, beach and entertainment complexes.

The total area of ​​Palm Jumeirah is 5.6 square meters. km.

They say that artificial island was built from stones and sand, without the use of metal or concrete. This was done by order of the Emir of Dubai - Maktoum ibn Rashid Al Maktoum. He came up with the idea of ​​building and designing the Palm Islands.

Construction of Palm Jumeirah

The idea of ​​creating this unusual structure appeared back in the 90s, when free place the emirate's coastal strip suitable for construction has ended. The project was intended to increase the area for further development tourism industry: beaches, hotels, villas, entertainment centers.

Construction of this architectural miracle began in 2001 on the initiative of the monarch of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed. The name of the island (Palm Jumeirah) translates as “Palm Tree Crown”. The characteristic shape was chosen not only in honor of the symbol of the emirate, but also based on careful calculations. Having relatively small sizes in diameter - 5.5 kilometers - the trunk has 17 branches with a total coastline of 56 kilometers. This is 9 times more than if the creators had intended the island to be round.

The builders used 94 million cubic meters of sand and 5.5 million cubic meters of stone. From this amount of material it would be possible to build a wall 2.5 meters high, which would encircle the Earth along the equator. The entire structure is supported by its own weight - there is no concrete or steel reinforcements. However, years of existence have proven the viability of such a “natural” project.

Island problems

Up close, the Palm Jumeirah complex is not at all what it looks like from a distance. From a bird's eye view, Palma looks luxurious. But on Earth everything is very dull and lifeless. Also, because the water in the canals stagnates, there is a foul smell in the air, as if something is decomposing. Therefore, buying a villa on the leaves of Palm Jumeirah is not the most profitable investment of several million dollars.

How does construction happen on water?

Singapore, China and even Holland have stepped far ahead in capturing part of the reservoirs for construction. But it’s quite difficult to surpass Dubai in this regard. The spectacular and completely man-made Palm Jumeirah archipelago, home to the fabulously wealthy, is built on 110 million cubic meters of sand dredged from the sea.

Palm Jumeirah was conceived as an idea to further enrich the UAE. Jumeirah Island in Dubai, built in the shape of a palm tree, has gained fame as a superstructure, the appearance of which Persian Gulf considered a miracle. Even the engineers who worked on this project questioned the possibility of its creation. But, despite this, everything possible was done to ensure that it became a monument to luxury living for the whole world. The construction of the Palm Island began after the first conquest of nature by man in Dubai - the construction of the Burj Al Arab dream hotel, which is a tower on an artificial island located 300 meters from the shore.

The fact is that there was a certain problem for mass tourism, since the coastline suitable for recreation was only 72 km. Sheikh Mohammed decided to build an island off the coast, designed to increase the natural coastline of the coast several times. Thus, the idea was born to create an island in the shape of a palm tree as a symbol paradise peace. In addition, the big advantage of this shape was the increase in coastline by as much as 56 km compared to a traditional round island.

The epic construction began in 2001 and was scheduled for completion in 2006.

During this period, an island was to be built in the sea, where luxury hotels, villas and shopping centers. Such a task seemed very bold, but not for Sheikh Mohammed. He was not stingy at all and invested a lot of money in the work of the best consultants from around the world, as well as in paying for the ever-increasing needs of construction. Mohammed's idea was to build an island from natural materials, using sand and stones, rather than reinforced concrete structures. Such requirements created additional difficulties for builders. Every day they had to fight natural forces, as the water mercilessly eroded the stones and sand that were poured to build the island. Extensive research has been carried out on the effects of tides, rogue waves, storms and even global warming. The so-called storm Shamal, which occurs in these places, also caused concern for the creators of such a project.

I wonder what rock and the sand for the construction of the island could be enough to build a wall 2.5 meters high that would encircle the globe

Dutch engineers were brought in to build all the necessary structures, since Holland had already managed to recapture 35% of its territory from the sea. Construction work was going well until the World Trade Center towers in the United States were attacked by terrorists. As a result, the flow of tourists to the Middle East abruptly stopped. Beaches, hotels and restaurants were empty, but no one stopped work on the creation of Palm Jumeirah. Moreover, the project specialists were determined to leave at any moment.

To protect against the destructive effects of waves, Palm Island had to be protected by breakwaters. For their construction, tons of sand and stones were poured onto the bottom of the Persian Gulf, including those taken from 16 quarries throughout the UAE huge boulders weighing about 6 tons. They are held together only by their mass and are not fastened with iron or concrete. Every meter of the breakwater is carefully checked by divers to prevent the destruction of this protection. This powerful wave barrier extends 11.5 kilometers rises to 3 meters in height. During its construction, the builders encountered the Shamal storm, which raged for 3 weeks in 2002. They had no choice but to see whether the still unfinished breakwater could withstand the load. This downtime led to a creative solution - to continue to build a separate breakwater and the palm island itself. Such work was quite difficult, since without a ready-made breakwater the island was defenseless against the destructive effects of the sea.


Construction site on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai

Construction was also complicated by the fact that it was important to respect the given outlines of the island, which was not so easy, because the branches of the palm tree are curved into a complex shape and it was very easy to get lost. But what helped here was Dubai’s access to the world’s only private artificial satellite, which constantly took pictures during the work so that the drawing of the island and the outline of the palm tree were correct. During the work, many unexpected problems arose. For example, it turned out that the water near the island stagnated, and on paradise island this was unacceptable. A solution was found quickly and two breaks were made in the breakwater, allowing the water to be renewed.

The world's first artificial Palm Island grew in the Persian Gulf in 2 years. It took several more years to build 4,500 hotels, buildings and shopping centers. The process was not even hindered by two strong earthquakes that occurred not far from the construction site with a shock force of about 6 points.

It was assumed that the island of Jumeirah would be inhabited by 120 thousand people, but after the presentation of the finished project to the public, all the houses were sold out in 3 days

For the sake of celebrities and the richest people on the planet, it was decided to increase the number of buildings. This did not go unnoticed by nature - the artificial island that appeared in the bay affected the coastline of the mainland. The movements of the waves here have changed and there is a real danger that it will be washed away, so the creators have to constantly monitor the sand.

Jumeirah inspired the Sheikh to build two more of the same islands in the shape of a palm tree, which, together with other structures, lengthened the coast of Dubai from 72 km to 1,500 km.

With all the luxury and construction costs, Palm Island and other structures built on water make environmentalists worry. They argue that such environmental interventions lead to chaos for marine organisms and their habitats, and also destroy food for fish - coral reefs. Building on water also carries risks for residents, because these layers are not as stable as solid soil. Recently, there have been reports that Dubai's Palm Jumeirah archipelago is actually sinking. And yet, in the near future, progress may go even further and even more luxurious underwater houses may appear in the UAE. The Water Discus Hotel off the coast of Dubai will consist of an underwater and surface disk, which will be connected by a vertical shaft. But how all this will affect the oceans and underwater ecosystems remains to be seen.

The island was built in 2006 and given over to the development of villas, a hotel and a water park. Jumeirah is part of Palm Islands (Palm Jebel Ali, Palm Deira). Jumeirah is unofficially called the "eighth wonder of the world."




Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island in the form of a palm tree, consisting of a trunk, 16 leaves and a crescent moon surrounding the island, which is an 11-kilometer breakwater. The size of the island is 5 kilometers by 5 kilometers and its total area is more than 800 football fields. The island is connected to the mainland by a 300-meter bridge, and the crescent is connected to the top of the palm tree by an underwater tunnel.



Palm Jumeirah - very popular place among tourists in Dubai. The island is surrounded by the warm waters of the Persian Gulf - it is real paradise for a relaxing holiday by the sea. The place is extremely attractive for divers. Especially for fans of scuba diving, several artificial reefs were created around the archipelago and even several old planes were sunk to lure divers from all over the world.



The island has gorgeous beaches where you can sunbathe and swim. Along the roads there are villas and residential buildings. A very beautiful area, expensive, standard-built, well-groomed, and at the end of Palma there is the Atlantis Hotel, which in itself is an independent attraction.

The newest attraction of the 21st century, which you must visit when arriving in Palm Jumeirah, has already managed to win the title of a modern technological wonder of the world. We will talk about it in detail in our article. This small one is especially popular among the moneybags of this world. And not only because of the vacation on the man-made island. After all, the archipelago is built up unique hotels and chic restaurants. But that's not all. It’s not for nothing that excursions are taken here. This is a true symbol of sophisticated glamor and truly Arabian luxury. And although not everyone can afford to live in rooms costing several thousand dollars per night, you can touch the world of wealth. The artificial archipelago looks especially impressive from the air. It is from the helicopter that you can see a stylized drawing of a date palm swimming in the azure waters.

Feasibility of artificial islands

Jumeirah is a coastal area of ​​Dubai. It doesn't have many historical attractions. A mosque and a promenade - that’s all that could be seen in Jumeirah until the beginning of our century. Therefore, many tourists chose the Bar Dubai area for their holidays. But now the situation has changed radically. Man-made archipelagos have become the hallmark of the UAE. Palm Jumeirah is the most original of them, although the smallest in area. Two other archipelagos: Deira and Jebel Ali are also made in the form. In addition to them, there is also a group of artificial islands called Mir. The Universe archipelago is being built next to it. The construction of the islands was very expensive for the city municipality. But the enormous investment paid off in spades. Coastline Thanks to them, Dubai has expanded by as much as 520 kilometers. And it attracted new tourists to the United Arab Emirates who wanted to see this wonder of the world with their own eyes.

Brief history of construction

Construction of the artificial island began in June 2001. Five and a half years later, the archipelago began to gradually surrender to development. Nakheel, who is leading the work, has the right to be proud of her brainchild. The Palm Jumeirah is a grandiose achievement of modern technology and the embodiment of the boldest architectural designs. This “palm tree” is located opposite Internet City in the Jumeirah area, which is where it got its name. From Dubai International Airport it takes about half an hour to get there. The archipelago consists of a “trunk” and a “crown” of seventeen palm leaves diverging in both directions. This form made it possible to increase the length of beaches on the archipelago to 78 kilometers. In addition to the “trunk” and “crown”, Palm Jumeirah also has a crescent. This eleven-kilometer-long island acts as a breakwater and protects the main sandy archipelago from erosion. A three-hundred-meter bridge connects the “trunk” of the Palm Jumeirah with the mainland. And an underwater tunnel leads to the crescent from the top of the “tree”. And in addition, it must be said that the man-made islands of Dubai can be seen from space!

Difficulties during construction

The project of washing a man-made archipelago was a real challenge of man to the forces of nature. Continental sand, of which there is so much in the United United Arab Emirates, was no good. It didn't have the right viscosity. Therefore, special dredges scooped sea sand from the bottom of the bay, laid it in the form of a palm tree, and later vibrating machines compacted it to the state of solid soil. To prevent destructive storms from destroying and washing away the embankments, Palm Jumeirah acquired a crescent. It was laid out with large stone blocks quarried in the Khajar Mountains. Moreover, the position of each plate was adjusted using a computer.

What is Palm Jumeirah

This man-made structure claims to be the eighth wonder of the world. At the time of construction, it was the largest man-made archipelago in the world. And although it has been surpassed in size by Jebel Ali and Deira, Palm Jumeirah (Dubai) continues to be the most original island. "Tree trunk" is built up multi-storey buildings and shopping centers. Moreover, the material used was not glass and concrete, as one might assume, but stone. The current Sheikh of Dubai, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, ordered that all buildings on the archipelago fit naturally into the landscape. They are surrounded by green parks. Thus, the “palms” became a miracle. The seventeen branches and crescent of The Palm Jumeirah should soon house thirty-two luxury hotels and one thousand four hundred villas.

How do Dubai authorities lure tourists to the “palm trees”?

It is clear that, having configured expensive hotels and luxury villas, the municipality is unlikely to soon get back the money invested in the megaproject. It was necessary to attract as many people as possible to the artificial archipelagos. large quantity of people. Huge beaches extending far out to sea are the first attraction. The clear waters of the warm Persian Gulf are attractive for fans of scuba diving. Especially for divers, the authorities sank several old airplanes near Palm Jumeirah, and also created artificial reefs, which a few years later were covered with completely natural corals. But the main highlight of this archipelago should be the Atlantics underwater aquarium.

Jebel Ali

This artificial island is a Polynesian paradise. More than a thousand bungalows and about 2,000 villas in an exotic style will be built here. City officials estimate that Palm Jebel Ali's population will be 1.7 million by 2020! Particular emphasis on this archipelago is placed on children's recreation. Four amusement parks will appear on the protective crescent-breakwater. A water park is also being built here, where visitors will be able to see killer whales, dolphins and other amazing creatures. Quotes from the poems of the mayor of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, are carved in stone along the breakwater of this archipelago. Well, Palma Deira will be the largest of the three “trees”. The authorities promise to build a lot of amazing and exciting things on it.

How to get there

You can get to Palm Jumeirah by city metro. The station is located on the shore, and to quickly find yourself in the futuristic “city of the future”, you can take a taxi. On the island itself public transport represented by a monorail. In the future, the authorities promise to integrate it with the main lines of the Dubai subway. In addition, it is planned to launch ultra-modern airships here, from which you will be able to see this whole wonderful fairy tale from a bird's eye view. An underwater road tunnel leads to the “crescent” of Palm Jumeirah. All the beaches of the luxury hotels located here are located on the inner side of the island. So even the most powerful storm in the Persian Gulf will not interfere with comfortable swimming. On the "crown" amazing island on this moment 1,400 villas with individual access to the sea were built, as well as more than two and a half thousand apartments in spectacular penthouses. And on the “trunk” there are yacht clubs, office premises, parks, shopping centers and hotels.

Hotels on Palm Jumeirah

Atlantis The Palm was the first to welcome guests. This happened on November 20, 2008. After this significant event, the world learned about the existence of the first artificial archipelago in Dubai. The opening of the five-star hotel was accompanied by a grandiose fireworks display. One hundred thousand pyrotechnic installations were involved. For ten minutes they shot fountains of colored lights into the air. This parade of lights was the largest fireworks display in history. It was visible not only from anywhere in Dubai, but even from space! Then, one after another, other hotels began to open, primarily chain hotels: Kempinski, Rixos, Palm Jumeirah Zabel Sarai, One and Only The Palm and others. But there is still room for new construction - especially in the middle of the "trunk". Most recently, the Ocean the Palm Jumeirah 5*, consisting of a unique residential complex and a club apart-hotel.

What to see on Palm Jumeirah

Experienced tourists recommend taking a ride on the high monorail. It starts at the “roots”, not far from the bridge, and ends at the Atlantis The Palm 5* hotel. After leaving the carriage, feel free to follow to this hotel. The fun is just beginning! This luxurious hotel houses the Aquaventure water park and The Dolphin Bay dolphinarium. Then you can combine interesting with pleasant: get through the tunnel to the “crescent” and relax on sandy beaches.
