Encyclopedia > Jumeira Palm

The Palm, Jumeirah is an artificial island off the coast of Dubai in the shape of a palm tree. It is the first of three Palm Islands being constructed there.


The Jumeira Palm has inspired two further palms, The Palm, Jebal Ali and The Palm, Deira, and The World, an archipelago of islands in the shape of the continents of the world.
