One of the decisions made by the government of Dubai in order to increase tourism in the region was to build palm island Dubai. It is actually three islands we are talking about and these are shaped like palm trees and are self-sufficient islands which are protected by a man-made breakwater.

The palm fronds which comprise the top of the island provide one the ability to purchase a lot that will allow a 360 degree view of the ocean from every corner of their home and have a place to berth their boat that is within walking distance of their home.

There have been many long term planning projects included in the creation of the islands to insure that there is no encroachment on the sea or erosion of the beaches on the islands or on Dubai. Among these are regular testing that is done by experts in the field and equipment that is kept on hand to replenish sand in areas when needed.
