Dubai - The Palm Jumeirah in Dubai is known as the eighth wonder of the world

Filed Under Dubai, Economy, real estate | Leave a Comment

I am utterly fascinated with what is going on in Dubai. The engineering they’ve executed to create this “eighth wonder of the world” is beyond my comprehension. They are making it look like an ultra fantasy land over there.

Below is a paragraph from one of their web sites and a link. If you want to see some true beauty and economics and engineering at its finest, please click here .

Launched in 2001, The Palm Jumeirah is the icon that captivated the world’s attention. The first chapter of The Palm Trilogy, The Palm Jumeirah is known as the eighth wonder of the world. Helping solve Dubai’s beach shortage, the island has doubled Dubai’s existing coastline and will also double the number of beachfront hotels in the city. Along with world class residences and hotels, the island features unprecedented retail, exceptional leisure and premier entertainment options. It is expected to welcome 20,000 visitors a day. A monorail, the first of its kind in the region, will transport passengers conveniently to a variety of island locations. Fast becoming a reality, The Palm Jumeirah is Dubai’s celebrated landmark and international attraction.

Location: Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I will periodically post on Dubai as I am just simply fascinated with it in every aspect…from the real estate, the development, the engineering, the majestic beauty, their economy, the culture, their intelligence, their foresight to increase their beach frontage by literally making land in the ocean! Get out of here man! Like who literally “makes” land! I’ve never heard of such a concept. It’s all mind-blowing to me.

If anyone has been to Dubai or has some first-hand information, I would LOVE to hear from you! I would love to have a contact over there who can answer some questions for me. So again, if you know of anyone or have a connection that I could contact, please let me know.

One day I plan to do my writings while sitting in my lovely villa in Dubai.
