The Palm Islands are a group of artificial islands located in the Persian Gulf near Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They are designed in the shape of palm trees and consist of three main islands: Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, and Palm Deira. These islands are known for their luxury resorts, residential areas, and recreational facilities. Constructed using land reclamation techniques, the Palm Islands are a significant engineering achievement. Palm Jumeirah is the most famous and is home to the iconic Atlantis, The Palm resort. The islands have become a symbol of Dubai's rapid development and ambition in tourism and real estate.
