Palm Jebel Ali
The Palm Jebel Ali (Arabic: نخلة جبل علي) is an artificial archipelago in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It began construction in October 2002 and was originally planned to be completed by mid-2008 but has been on hold since. It was relaunched in 2024.
The project, which is 50 percent larger than Palm Jumeirah, is proposed to include six marinas, a water theme park, a 'Sea Village', homes built on stilts above the water, and boardwalks that circle the "fronds" of the "palm" and spelling out an Arabic poem by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum reading; "Take wisdom from the wise, it takes a man of vision to write on water, not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey, great men rise to greater challenges". The poem boardwalks were however scrapped before a new design was issued and subsequently partially constructed. Due to the 2008 financial crisis, the construction was put on hold until its revival and resumption in 2024. The project is presently intended for completion in 2028.
The breakwater was completed in December 2006, and infrastructure work began in April 2007. After the 2008 financial crisis, work was halted and the developers, Nakheel, have confirmed no work would take place on the development in the near future.[citation needed]
Nakheel invited several architects to design one of the buildings for the Palm on a 300,000 m2 area. The winning design was a building by Royal Haskoning, who also worked on several other projects in Dubai.
In the first signs of a slowing Dubai property market, the prices of properties being sold on Palm Jebel Ali were reported to have fallen by 40% in the two months to November 2008, with the fall being attributed to the global financial meltdown.
In 2009, the Dubai Land Department investigated complaints about Nakheel stalling the Palm Jebel Ali project. Nakheel offered investors alternative homes in other projects but these were inferior properties. In March 2011, Nakheel offered refunds to property investors.[citation needed]
Palm Jebel Ali's developer planned to house more than 250,000 people on it.
In the original schedule, by 2021, the first phase of four theme parks would have opened on the Crescent. These planned parks, which together would have been called "World of Discovery," will be developed and operated by the Busch Entertainment Corporation. The parks include SeaWorld, Aquatica, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove. The World of Discovery would have been located at the top of the Crescent, which would form into the shape of an orca (reminiscent of Shamu).
