Palm Jumeirah is an artificial archipelago located in the Persian Gulf in Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It forms part of the larger Palm Islands development, which also includes Palm Jebel Ali and Dubai Islands. Upon completion, these developments will collectively extend Dubai's coastline by 520 kilometers (320 miles). As of 2022, Palm Jumeirah is home to over 25,000 residents. The islands, created through land reclamation, are designed to resemble a palm tree and are divided into three main areas: the "trunk," "fronds," and "outer crescent." The trunk serves as a mixed commercial and residential zone, the fronds are dedicated to residential homes and villas, and the outer crescent hosts luxury and upscale resorts. The construction of Palm Jumeirah was carried out by Van Oord, a Dutch specialist dredging company that also built The World Islands.
