The islands of the Palm's authorities of the United Arab Emirates were created to attract tourists, as well as to expand its territory due to the water of the Persian Gulf. Both were embodied with glitter.

What to see

The archipelago consists of three artificial islands, each of which is a palm tree: the largest is the island of Palma Deira, two others - the Palma Jumeira and Palma Jebel-Ali - a little less.

On the coast of Dubai there is another magnificent artificial structure - the Archipelago "Peace", next to which the construction of the Universe archipelago is planned.

If you find fault in the terminology, the islands of the palm should be called the peninsulas, because they are connected to the mainland coastline - the barrel. It is no coincidence that the islands are chipsticks, this is a particularly revered plant in Islam. Also in the traditions of this religion, the crown of each of the Palm islands became Crescent.

To protect against water island, palm trees are surrounded by barrier reefs. And for them builders did not fit formally. For example, on the reefs of the Palm of Jebel-Ali, quotes were carved from the poems of Mohammed Bin Rashid al Maktuum - the acting Sheikh Dubai.

The islands of palm trees are built from sand mined on the coast of Dubai.

All the islands of palm trees are built from sand mined on the coast of Dubai. At the creation of the Breast-cutting of Palma Jumeira, stretching for 11 km, went seven million cubic meters of sand. And this is the smallest of the three islands. 1400 villas should appear on the Palma Jumeirah, 32 hotels, and the beaches stretch out 78 km.

The main attraction of Jumeira must be the Atlantine complex, the owners promise that it will be the embodied dream of tourists.

The island of Palma Jebel-Ali is built in a more exotic style. More than a thousand bungalow in Polynesian style and more than two thousand villas will be located here. Dubai authorities are planning that by 2020 about 1.7 million people will live on this island. Particular attention to Jebel-Ali will be paid to the rest of the children: four amusement park will appear on the crescent of the island.

In the future, tourists will come to the islands of palm trees to visit the unique marine aquarium. Jabel-Ali can be seen dolphins, taway and other residents of the sea.

And the largest and unusual of the three islands of Palm will be Deira.

History of creation

In 2001, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashi Al Mactoum decided to expand the coastline and create a paradise resort corner in the waters of the Persian Gulf, while not using concrete and metal structures. First create a design that is opposed to waves and storms using only sand and boulders seemed an impracticable taskHowever, they were not going to retreat.

The construction of a palm island began. There appeared five kilometers of the breakwater, designed to defend the island from the storm Shamil. Then the construction of the island itself, the "leaflet" behind the "leaflet" - slowly and hardly a huge island appeared.

Additional complexity was created by the fact that the sand of the Arab desert did not fit for construction - it is too small and easily washed away. Therefore, tons of sand with tremendous efforts had to get from the bottom of the Persian Gulf and deliver on the coast. This very sand and stones used in construction would have enough to build a 2.5 meter wall around the globe.

5 years later, human talent, perseverance and science won. Palm is the island was ready to take residents in the 2006 year. Luxury villas and hotels took their place on the "leaves". On the trunk of the palm trees are restaurants, parks, shopping and entertainment complexes, water parks, as well as beach clubs. Three months later, an amazing coral reef was added to this magnificence with two flooded F-100 aircraft to attract divers and strengthen the protection of the island. barrier Reef..

The wave of palm trees Jumeira reaches three meters in height and eleven and a half meters long.
Palm size Jumeira reaches 5.72 km².
Houses and villas were redeemed for a record three days (Celebrates became buyers who wish to retire on the paradise island).

Reverse side of luxury

Despite the greatness and beauty of the island, the environmentology was not too glad to similar changes in the flora and the fauna of the Persian Gulf. After all, such changes are undoubtedly fraught with consequences. The authorities responded to numerous demands to protect the sea inhabitants and built up a part of the coast of artificial reefs, in addition, promised that in a short time it is planned to translate "palm trees" on environmentally friendly energy sources in order not to pollute the environment.

A substantial problem remains stagnation of water in the bays of the archipelago. Breaks are vital for protection, but it is indisputable prevents water renewal. Despite trying to cope with this problem, the visible result has not yet been reached.

The latter, but no less important - durability. How much is able to simultane such a huge, but, as not strange, the fragile Palm island of Jumeira, under the climate change, increase the water level and the raging waves, wash the sand straight from under the feet? The creators of projects soothe investors that in the next 800 years there is nothing to worry about, and you can safely acquire a piece of paradise on Earth.

The project was designed to increase the territory for the further development of the tourism industry: beaches, hotels, villas, entertainment centers.

The construction of this architectural miracle began in 2001 on the initiative of the monarch Dubai Sheikh Mohammed. The name of the island (Palm Jumeirah) is translated as "Krone Palm". The characteristic form is chosen not only in honor of the symbol of the Emirate, but also on the basis of thorough calculations. Having relatively small sizes in diameter - 5.5 kilometers, the trunk has 17 branches with a shared coastline of 56 kilometers. It is 9 times more than if the creators wondered the island round.

Builders used 94 million cubic sand meters and 5.5 million cubic meters of stone. From such a number of material it would be possible to build a wall with a height of 2.5 meters, which would be gone to the Ecuator. The whole design is kept due to its own weight - there is no concrete or steel fortifications. However, the years of existence proved the viability of such a "natural" project.

Problems of the island

Near the complex of Palma Jumeira is not at all what has been published. From a bird's eye view, palm looks luxurious. And on Earth, everything is very sad and lifeless. And because of the fact that the water in the canals is stirred, there is a vile smell in the air, as if something decomposes. Therefore, the purchase of villas on the leaves of Palma Jumeira is not the most profitable investment of several million dollars.

More recently, the Arab Emirates were known to the world with their deserts and the presence of such valuable raw materials as oil. But some time passed and everything changed. Now everyone is awesome looking at the images of Arab beauty and secret dreams to get there, to see these cosmic miracles with his own eyes, and world celebrities and magnates are fighting for each square meter on the territory of Dubai. The reason for everything is giant buildings of indescribable beauty. All the biggest thing that is on our planet (fountains, hotels, towers, parks), is located in the UAE. Among these miracles, artificial islands in the form of doves on the Persian Gulf coast - Jebel Ali, Jumeira and Deira are considered.

The work did not stop for a minute, shift for shift, day after day, month after month and in 2006 the island was ready. As a material, a stone and sand was used, which was mined from the bottom of the bay. The whole island consists of the main barrel and 17 palm leaves. Crescents also built around the palm trees - a symbol of all Muslims, which also serves as a breakwater and protects the island from high waves and storms, its length is 11 km. Thus, the total area of \u200b\u200bJumeira exceeds 25 square meters. km., What is equal to 800 football fields.

After working on the island has been completed, the architects have begun to build the territory. Soon chic villas, hotels, hotels rose in the sand shopping centers, not to mention the palm trees and other plants. Most real estate Palma Jumeira has already been reappeared and populated.

The history of the creation of Palma Jumeira

Mohammed Ibn Rashid al Mackum

The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a unique man-made island in the Persian bay belongs to Shahih UAE Mohammed Ibn Rashid Al Mactoo. This idea arose from him back in the 1990s, when there were no suitable places to build new buildings at the sectors of the Emirate of Emirate Dubai. The construction of the miracle islands, designed to increase the coastline of the Emirate in order to follow the development of tourism, was started in 2001.

For construction, 94,000,000 m³ of sand and 5,500,000 m³ of stone were used - in such a material volume would be enough to build on the equator Globe The wall is 2.5 meters high. The main difficulty was that the sand from the UAE deserts turned out to be unsuitable for the construction of an artificial embankment: he was very small, and because of this, the water easily washed him out. Incredible efforts were spent to raise sand tons from the seabed and deliver it to the coast of the Emirate. When creating sandy embankments, neither cement nor steel fortifications were needed - the whole design is held only due to their own weight. Nevertheless, this unique project has proved its viability, because the Palma Jumeira has successfully existed since 2006.

"Crane Palma" - this is exactly what "Palma Jumeira" is translated, and in the photo from the height it clearly shows that the outlines of the man-made embankment completely repeat the silhouette of a palm tree. Interestingly, the choice of such a form is explained not only by the fact that Palma is a symbol of Dubai Emirate. Just with a relatively minor size of a diameter of 5.5 km, the barrel has 16 leaf branches with a shared coastline of 56 km - if the island had a round shape, this figure would be 9 times less. The artificial island is surrounded by a breakwater in the shape of a crescent stretched by 11 km. To strengthen the protection of the island, and at the same time to attract divers on the coast of the emirate, all this magnificence completed the coral reef with two sunken F-100 aircraft.

Problems of Palma Jumeira

Although the island is very beautiful, the ecologists of the UAE and the whole world are excited about the changes occurring in the Persian Gulf of Persian and the animal. In response to multiple demands to make life inhabitants of sea waters safe, the power of the Emirate of Dubai has built artificial reefs off the coast and plan energy from environmentally friendly sources on all artificial islands.

The presence of a breakwater also creates certain problems. It is extremely important for protection against waves, but at the same time leads to the stress of water in the bays and provokes the appearance of an unpleasant odor. The Government of the UAE undertakes a number of attempts to solve this problem, but the desired result could not be obtained.

There is one more important question: "How long can it stand such a huge, but too fragile embankment, on which climate change affect, as well as formidable waves, flushing out of her sand?". The authors of the project argue that over the next 800 years should not worry, and investors are persuading to buy an amazing real estate "part" of amazing real estate in Emirate. Moreover, changes have been made to the legislation of the Emirate, allowing any person to acquire real estate with the absolute right of ownership.
