Dubai : United Arab Emirates is another name for beautiful sea shore, high-rise buildings and immense wealth and Alishan life. Most people move to Dubai to travel and spend their holidays, regardless of the country they live in. Once again, the giants among the world’s richest people are building their new abode in Dubai. This includes names like Indian industrialist Mukesh Ambani, Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, British footballer David Beckham. These luxurious houses are being bought on the Palm Jumeirah Beach of Dubai, which can also be called the ‘Eighth Wonder’ made by humans. Ambani’s villa on a palm tree-shaped artificial archipelago with 10 bedrooms, a private spa and indoor and outdoor pools is valued at $80 million. (Photo: Twitter)

Palm Jumeirah made of 7 million tonnes of stone

This artificial island group is being called the ‘Eighth Wonder’ because Dubai has built it only with sand and stones. This seemingly impossible feat is possible only in Dubai where the world’s tallest building Burj Khalifa already exists. The Palm Jumeirah in Dubai is a group of artificial islands that were constructed in the early 21st century. The proceeds from the UAE’s petroleum were largely spent on its construction. Seven million tonnes of stones have been used in its construction, which have been taken from the nearby Al-Hajar mountain. More than 94 million cubic meters of sand were removed from the ocean floor to create the island. In such a situation, if it is called ‘Eighth Wonder’ then it will not be wrong. (Photo: Twitter)

Reports suggest that the sand and stone used in the construction of Palm Jumeirah can build a 2 meter high wall that can encircle the earth three times. Hundreds of studies and intensive planning were made to lay the foundation of Palm Jumeirah. Various aspects of transportation, civil engineering and technology were thoroughly analyzed before construction. In addition, experienced divers went underwater to check the stability of the rock formations. The total cost of the entire construction is believed to have been $12 billion. Engineers sprayed the sand at the right place with precision with the help of satellite guided by hi-tech GPS. (Photo: Twitter)

Safe from the ravages of the sea and seasonal winds

Vibro-compaction technology was also used in its manufacture, which is used to compact the soil particles. By 2004 the infrastructure of the Palm Jumeirah was established and construction began in 2006. People came to live here for the first time in 2007 and about 75 percent of the property was sold. An artificial breakwater protects the Palm Jumeirah from the ravages of the ocean. It also protects the Palm Jumeirah from the seasonal winds blowing from Iraq. (Photo: Twitter)

Wonderful world spread over 5.72 sq km

Palm Jumeirah has been built by Al Nakheel Properties, a real estate company of the Government of Dubai. American architecture firm Helman Hurley Charvat Peacock prepared its masterplan. The Palm Jumeirah Islands look like a palm tree within a sphere when viewed from above. The total area of the islands is 5.72 square km. Due to its unique shape, it can also be seen from space.

12000 palm trees planted

Technically Palm Jumeirah cannot be called an island as it is connected with Dubai by a 1.4 km long bridge. A monorail connects the Palm Jumeirah to Dubai’s coastline. About 20,000 people travel through it every day. There is also the Palm Jumeirah Tunnel which is an underground 6-lane bridge. Palm Jumeirah is not just the shape of the palm tree. 12,000 palm trees have been planted here. Palm Jumeirah is home to many billionaires of the world, in which the name of Mukesh Ambani has also been added.
