Palm Jumeirah, aerial view 2010 map of developments, including Palm Jebel Ali (under construction), Palm Jumeirah (complete), Palm Deira (under construction), The World (under construction), The Universe (not shown here, cancelled), and Dubai Waterfront (cancelled). The Palm Islands consist of three artificial archipelagos: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Islands (formerly known as Palm Deira or Deira Islands), and Palm Jebel Ali, off the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The Palm Islands were constructed around the same time as The World Islands. Nakheel Properties is the Palm Islands real estate developer. The creation of the islands began in 2001 and ended around 2006/2007. These islands have significantly impacted ocean sediment and wildlife in the surrounding area.
