The Palm Jumeirah is an artificial archipelago created using land reclamation by Nakheel, a company owned by the Dubai government in United Arab Emirates and was designed and developed by HHCP architects.
It is one of the three planned islands called the Palm Islands (Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, and Palm Deira) which would have extended into the Arabian Gulf, increasing Dubai's shoreline by a total of 520 kilometers.
The Palm Jumeirah is the smallest and the original of three Palm Islands originally under development of Nakheel. It is located on the Jumeirah coastal area of the emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
