We already know how ostentatious Dubai is and not only for its inhabitants but also for its architecture and when I talk about its architecture, I not only talk about the buildings or houses but also about its islands which have been artificially made for the show and enjoyment of people.

Palmera Islands. These three palm-shaped islands, also known as The Palm Dubai and The Palms, are the largest artificial islands built by man on the coast of the emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Sand and stone were used for its construction and another island was built around them that envelops and protects them from the sea. They intend to become tourist destinations and house hotels, spas, etc.

These islands owe their name to their shape: a date palm. They consist of three main sections:

The trunk: Where the main avenue of the island is located and the main accesses are located. It also reaches the second part of the island.

The fronds: Simulates the foliage of the palm tree and in the three islands, this area will be exclusively for residential use.

Crescent: Surrounds the island in the shape of a half moon (hence the name) and acts as a gigantic breakwater.

Islas Palmera is also known as the Eighth Wonder of the World. The islands will support more than 60 luxury hotels, 4,000 residential villas (for sale), 1,000 unique homes, 5,000 coastal apartments, marinas, water theme parks, restaurants, shopping centers, sports facilities, health spas, cinemas and several dive sites.

Palm Jumeirah

The Palm Jumeirah is the smallest of the three palm islands. It is located on the Jumeirah coastal area of the emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (the UAE). The unique artificial island is built in the shape of a date palm tree and consists of a trunk, a crown with 17 fronds, and an encircling surrounding island that will form a wave breaker. The island of Palma Jumeirah is mainly a residential area for housing, relaxation, and leisure. This will contain theme hotels, three types of villas (Villas de Firma, Garden Houses, and Town Houses), coastal apartment buildings, beaches, marinas, restaurants, coffee shops and a variety of retail outlets.

It is the second of the artificial islands according to its size (8.4 km²). Its dimensions are 7 km by 7.5 km. Construction began in 2002. Its design is the most interesting because, seen from the air, you can read a poem of 84 letters created by 404 houses on the water, one of which will read:

"Take the wisdom of the wise." This leads a man of vision to write on the water, not everyone riding the horse is a jockey, "great men carry great challenges."
In 2007, the sand design is already built, but there are still no houses or construction.

It has the tallest tower in the world (300 m higher than the second) which was inaugurated on January 4, 2010. It is the first hotel of Giorgo Armani. It has more than 120 floors and its elevators go at a speed of 40 km / h. In arriving to the last floor (property of the owner of the tower) it takes 2 minutes.

Palm Deira is the first, in terms of size, of the artificial islands project with 46.35 km² (4,635 hectares). The development of Palm Deira was announced in October 2004 and a timetable for its conclusion has not been announced. Originally, the design predicted 14 km (8.7 miles) by 8.5 km (5.3 miles) with 41 fronds on the island. Due to a substantial change in depth in the Persian Gulf, the island was redesigned in May 2007. The project became a project of 12.5 km (7.76 miles) by 7.5 km (4.66 miles) with the largest island with 18 leaves.

Given the size of the island, it is being developed in several phases, at present, more than 80% of it is already completed.
