The Palm Tree islands. One of the world’s phenomenon. No, the islands aren't made of palm trees. In fact, it's all man made! The base of the islands is entirely on sand and rocks. The construction on this began in 2001, and was intended to maximize beachfront property. Well, all we can say now is that the intended sales pitch worked.
Now where is this incredible thing found? In Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The palms were built by the state owned company Nakheel. The first two palms are part of a three palm construction plan. The third palm was going to be called Palm Deira. But in 2009 the construction was cancelled. Now there is a Deira Island.

Think about it, how would you like to vacation in Dubai?
Yeah it would be great to have a vacation on the Palm Tree Island in Dubai. As a matter of fact my mom went to a similar island in Qatar called Pearl-Qatar and showed me cool pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that people can make artificial islands out of sand and rock. Other man made islands actually were made before of floating structures. Did you know that several airports were built on artificial islands?
About the islands made of artificial sand and rock... Japan is actually doing the same thing. Since they have a very high population they buy dirt from other countries, and dump it into the ocean. This expands Japan. And makes more land for more people.
