Here "The Palm" of Jebel Ali...
YES! you are not dreaming, they built a second "Palm" at 22 kilometers (13.6 miles) from the first! This one is even larger: 7.5 km (4.6 miles) in diameter, and they propose, in addition to the some 2000 villas, 1060 "Water Homes". These are houses with small private docks located on the interior crown and which, if you look closer, form a poem written in Arabic by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, governor of Dubai and poet at his time! Ha! I forgot. If, you too, wish to have a residence on one of the "Palms", it will "only" cost you 500 000 dollars for an apartment with a terrace and 1.3 million dollars for a house with a small private beach... And you will have perhaps the privilege to have as neighbors Tom Cruise or David Beckham (in any case, it is what the advertising says!) |
