Man-made Dubai Islands
How would you fee if you could live in a private island, especially if it is one of Dubai islands, where you get sunshine throughout the year? When the Dubai government came with this idea few years ago I thought it was only a dream. But it is really happening now.
These Dubai islands are completely manmade from scratch in the Dubai coast. Constructions of these islands launched after years of planning. Currently Dubai has two island groups.
Palm Island Dubai
Dubai Palm Tree Island was the first manmade Dubai Island. They are being built in the shape of a Date Palm Tree. There are three palm tree islands being built in Dubai.
