Palm Jebel Ali

Palm Jebel Ali (Arabic: نخلة جبل علي) is an artificial archipelago in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It began construction in October 2002 and was originally planned to be completed by mid-2008 but has been on hold since. It was relaunched in 2024.

The project, which is 50 percent larger than Palm Jumeirah, is proposed to include six marinas, a water theme park, a 'Sea Village', homes built on stilts above the water, and boardwalks that circle the "fronds" of the "palm" and spelling out an Arabic poem by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum reading; "Take wisdom from the wise, it takes a man of vision to write on water, not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey, great men rise to greater challenges". The poem boardwalks were however scrapped before a new design was issued and subsequently partially constructed. Due to the 2008 financial crisis, the construction was put on hold until its revival and resumption in 2024. The project is presently intended for completion in 2028.
