The cost of renting a yacht in Dubai can greatly depend on many factors. Here are the main ones:

What is Palm Jumeirah and how was it built?

Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island shaped like a palm tree, one of the most ambitious engineering projects in the world. Construction began in 2001 and required about 94 million cubic meters of sand and 7 million tons of rock. I strolled along the "trunk" of the palm, where hotels, restaurants, and residential complexes are located, and couldn't stop being amazed by the scale of the project. The "leaves" of the palm are luxurious villas with private beaches. The crown houses Atlantis The Palm hotel, a symbol of luxury and hospitality. After climbing The View at The Palm, an observation deck at a height of 240 meters, I was able to appreciate the grandeur of this structure and enjoy the panorama of Dubai and the Persian Gulf. The creation of Palm Jumeirah has shown the world that nothing is impossible for Dubai.
