Palm Jumeirah, one of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, is the world’s largest man-made island. It comprises a 2-kilometer-long trunk, a crown made up of 17 fronds, and a horseshoe-shaped crescent, giving it the form of a palm tree. Sometimes referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Palm is home to some of the most luxurious resorts in the UAE including The Atlantis, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, Rixos The Palm, and many more.
