The Palm, often known as Palm Jumeirah or just the Palm by locals, is Dubai's playground for the world's wealthiest individuals who want to escape from it all while yet enjoying the finest of everything. The amusing man-made island has 17 fronds, a trunk, and the shape of a date palm as suggested by its name. It is a component of the Palm Islands, a bigger project that will eventually add more than 300 miles to the emirate's coastline.
