He wants to increase tourism and expand Dubai’s coastline. So are you planning a tour to Dubai for your next vacation? If so, you can consider these islands as well. Are you wondering how these islands are made? This blog is here to make you aware of that. By learning about the manmade islands of Dubai, you will be able to enjoy your trip even more.
The process of creating these islands is called land reclamation which includes dragging sand from the Persian and Arabian Gulf’s floors. After that, the sand is sprayed and Vibro-compacted into shape through GPS technology to achieve precision and surrounded by millions of tons of rock for protection. Now, let’s learn more about some of the major manmade islands of Dubai.
The Palm Islands
The Palm Islands are two islands named Palm Jumeirah and Palm Jebel Ali. Palm Jumeirah is a host of several private residences and hotels. From the air, this archipelago resembles a stylized palm tree within a circle consisting of a trunk and 17 fronds, surrounded by a 7-mile-long crescent-shaped island. The project was kicked off by Nakheel Properties in 2002 and added 40 miles of beaches. People can visit Palm Jumeirah using a monorail and an underwater tunnel from mainland Dubai. Thus, you don’t need to settle for Google Earth views of the Palm Islands.
The world
The World which is another project of Nakheel Properties started in 2003 and it has made 300 small islands on the coast of Dubai. In 2013, images from NASA suggested that the islands are sinking back into the ocean. Despite the issue of sinking, the Kleindienst group is hoping to revive. Moreover, the launch of Heart of Europe in 2020 is meant to provide visitors with a high-end, European life experience. The project consists of underwater villas, five-star hotels, and even streets lined with manufactured snow.
The Bluewaters
The project was approved and unveiled by Sheikh Rashid Al Maktoum. It was built on reclaimed land by Meraas Holding at an estimated cost of AED 6 billion. The island hosts a range of entrainment options and retail as well as residential zones. It is estimated to attract more than three million visitors annually. Moreover, it features Ain Dubai, a 274-meter tall giant Ferris wheel.
