UAE Property Investment Forum

Palm Jumeirah The Palm Jumeirah is the smallest of the three Palm Islands, and is built in the shape of a date palm tree. It consists of a trunk, a crown with 17 fronds, and a surrounding crescent island that will form a water-breaker. Delayed by almost 2 years, the Palm is now reaching it's final stages. Palm Jumeirah is one of the very few projects in Dubai where investors have made over 300% returns. The Palm has been popular with investors, owners and holidaymakers alike. What are your views of the Palm, have you invested there or considering a resale property? Discuss your issues and share your thoughts with others.

NAME: Atlantis Hotel
LOCATION The Palm, Jumeira ( First Palm Island of coast of Dubai )
ROOMS: 2000
Cost: $1.1 billion. (USA $)
START: 2005
END: 2007
2,000 rooms, developed in two towers: The Royal Towers will consist of 1,200 rooms that will target luxury travelers and a second tower of 800 rooms aimed towards the middle market.

Will have two monorail stations in the hotel to connect it to the main stalk of the palm

The resort will have some unusual and distinctive archeological marine exhibits. The design will be based on the myth of Atlantis and will maintain the iconic design elements of the Royal Towers in Atlantis, Paradise Island, incorporating traditional Arabic design themes.

• An extensive water-theme park, which at approximately 40 acres will be the largest in the region, will feature unique water attractions, one of the world's largest marine habitats, a snorkel trail, a swim with the dolphins encounter program, an array of water slides and The Dig, an Atlantis-themed "archeological" experience. The water-theme park will have capacity for over 6,000 daily visitors.

• The expansion will also include significant facilities directed towards Dubai's strong business travel and budding convention market, including a two-story conference center wing with a total of over 86,000 square feet of function space and a main ballroom of approximately 21,000 square feet, the largest such room in Dubai outside of the Dubai Convention Center.

• The expansion includes an Entertainment Village that will feature 20,000 square feet of retail space within an 80,000 square feet area hosting restaurants and food and beverage establishments.

• Hotel and water park visitors will be transported through a monorail system, to be developed by Nakheel, which is expected to begin at the 'trunk' of The Palm, Jumeirah and will end at Atlantis, The Palm.

This is crazy but cool!!!

I've never heard of a snorkel trail but if Dubai made it I bet it will be fun. Is it in open water with fish and what not (the only thing worth going on a snorkel trail for), and if so how could that be maintained with so many guests? The monorail will be real cool.
