The Emirate of Dubai not only profits from its oil reserves, but also benefits greatly from its free trade zone with a deep-water seaport. But for some time now, more and more attention has been paid to tourism. However, the city did not have enough sandy beaches to satisfy the ever-increasing number of tourists. And then the idea arose to create a paradise for recreation, consisting of three artificial islands, each of which is made in the shape of a palm tree. The first island complex, "The Palm Jumeirah", was completed in 2007. From the very beginning, interest in the residential and resort complex was huge: within three weeks, all properties were sold - even before the completion of the construction of the island complex.
