Go Back UAE Property Investment Forum Dubai Property Palm Jebel Ali Hydropolis
Palm Jebel Ali The middle-sized of the three Palm Islands, Palm Jebel Ali is 50% larger than Palm Jumeirah. It aims to create an entertainment destination catering to both residents and tourists away from the actual city of Dubai. However, the project has been greatly delayed and investor money has been blocked. Prices on certain projects have shot up on the island, but actual returns vary. Have you invested on the Palm Jebel Ali, or did you manage to flip and get a return? Will it be as successful as Palm Jumeirah? What about the technical pitfalls? Share your views and opinions here.

Default Hydropolis - 04-04-2007, 11:45 AM
The design includes three linked elements: a wave-shaped 333,333-sq.-ft. (30,000-sq.-m) above-ground "land station" and the jellyfish-shaped 833,333-sq.-ft. (75,000-sq.-m.) underwater hotel, linked by a submerged transparent train tunnel that's 1,700 feet (515 meters) long.

Among the project's other unusual architectural details are the hotel's two translucent domes, which will house a concert auditorium and a ballroom that break the water's surface, with the ballroom featuring a retractable roof. And that's not to mention the hotels

On some Dubai discussions in the German forum I found out that there was an article in a German newspaper, which said that the construction of hydropolis will evoke environmental problems. Anybody heard something about this?

Everything builds where it normally shouldn't will evoke environmental problems, same is being argued for the Palm also. It only means that it would effect the environment but not necessarily that it will damage it.

It will not wipe out entire species of marine life, neither it will change the regional climate so I don't see a big deal about it.

I also couldn't consider this as true!!! I was just wondering as a known magazine reported about this. I mean there was a lot of time to check if there will be any stream problems caused by palm jumeirah that would evoke environmental problems.
Maybe they are just envious???
