"A destination that captures the imagination" - the slogan of all taken together islands of Dubai. Imagination does have something to be captured. Bulk well-arranged paradises in the immediate vicinity of the Emirates coast with all conceivable options for a quick and painless waste of money (it's not a sin to remember the famous movie hero: "Of course, if you have one!") - from the "five" Atlantis The Palm to a modest island from the archipelago The World in private possession, for example, somewhere in the area of Ireland or Hong Kong.
Their three "palm" islands (Palm Jumeirah, Palm-Deira and Palm Jebel Ali) have now fully completed the construction of the island of Palm Jumeirah, which was officially opened in 2008. With the opening of this island, the coastline of Dubai has increased by 70 km.
The Palm Jumeirah
The Palm Jumeirah is the first man-made island in the form of a palm tree, consisting of a two-kilometer "trunk" with shopping centers, restaurants and residences, 17 "leaves" with private villas located on them and an 11-kilometer crescent protecting the island from sea waves - it built five-star hotels of the leading international hotel chains .From the coastline The Palm Jumeirah separates a 5-kilometer bridge along which a beautiful highway and monorail road is laid .Among the famous "Palm Jumeirah" hotels - Atlantis The Palm, opened one of the first in September 2008, One & Only The Palm, Fairmont the Palm, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, Kempinski Hotel & Resicence Palm Jumeirah, Rixos the Palm .The
Archipelago "World", The World
A unique man-made archipelago 4 km from the coast of Dubai, consisting of 300 artificial islands, which are surrounded by an oval breakwater.
The width of the archipelago is 9 km, length - 7 km; increases the natural coastline of Dubai by 232 km.
Each island is associated with a country, a city and a region, together they form a world map; They can be reached only by water or by air; a luxury infrastructure with the most modern communications will be created.
Thanks to the "Peace" project, a new form of island life will be added to the diversity offered by Dubai. The islands are divided into 3 main types: island resorts (entertainment and recreation centers, luxury hotels and cottages), residential islands, commercial (shops, transport interchanges, tourist areas).
To the islands of Dubai is also attributed the man-made island on which the hotel is located Burj Al Arab, connected to the "continent" by a bulk road. In addition, it is possible that the water space between The World and The Palm Deira someday will take a new archipelago in the form of the solar system - The Universe, to date, existing only on paper.
