Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
Dubai’s world-famous Palm Jumeirah is the largest artificial island in the world and comprises 1.2 mile (2 km) long trunk and a large crown with 17 fronds surrounded by a crescent. Since 2006, when the first residences on the island – four thousand luxury apartments and villas – were handed over, over 20 hotels and leisure facilities have been developed, turning Palm Jumeirah in one of the hottest tourist destinations.
