History & The Visionary Masterplan
Palm Jebel Ali, developed by Nakheel, is Dubai’s most ambitious island project, designed to be twice the size of Palm Jumeirah. The project initially began in 2002 but was relaunched in May 2023 under a new, futuristic masterplan, aligning it with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. The island is set to add 110 kilometres of coastline and feature an impressive scale of 13.4 square kilometres, accommodating over 35,000 families. A core focus of the revival is sustainability, with plans for up to 30% of public facilities to be powered by renewable energy. The masterplan includes 7 interconnected islands and 16 fronds, 80+ hotels, and multiple marinas, with the first residential units expected to be handed over from Q4 2027 onwards.
