caption_attribution_description: English: The resort Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is featured in this image photographed by Expedition 10 Commander Leroy Chiao from the International Space Station in 2005. The resort is under construction on reclaimed land silhouetted against the dark waters of Dubai’s Persian Gulf coast. Advertised as "being visible from the Moon," this man-made palm-shaped structure displays 16 huge fronds framed by a 12-kilometer protective barrier. When completed, the resort will sport 2,000 villas, 40 luxury hotels, shopping centers, cinemas, and other facilities. When completed, the resort is expected to support a population of approximately 500,000 people. Deutsch: Die künstliche Halbinsel Jumeira Palm in Dubai, Vereinigte Arabische Emirate, ist das Objekt dieses Fotos, das 2005 von der Internationalen Raumstation ISS aus fotografiert wurde. Die Halbinsel befindet sich noch im Bauzustand, zeichnet sich aber gegen die dunkle Wasserfläche des Persischen Golfs schon gut sichtbar ab. Angepriesen als "vom Mond aus sichtbar", werden sich dort im Endzustand 2000 Villas, 40 Luxushotels, Einkaufszentren, Kinos und andere Einrichtungen befinden - und Wohnraum für etwa 500.000 Einwohner.

context_page_description: The Palm Jumeirah is an artificial archipelago in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, created using land reclamation by Nakheel which extends into the Persian Gulf. It is part of a larger series of developments called the Palm Islands, including Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira, which, when completed, will together increase Dubai's shoreline by a total of 520 kilometres. It has an estimated population of 10,500 as of 2016. It is located on the Jumeirah coastal area of the emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. The construction was done by two Dutch specialist companies, Van Oord and Boskalis. The same companies also created The World. The recently opened destinations The Pointe, Club Vista Mare and Nakheel Mall have provided another dimension to The Palm Jumeirah.
