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.

What is the role of oil in Dubai's economy?

Interestingly, despite popular belief, oil only accounts for a small portion of Dubai's economy - around 1%. The main industries are trade, real estate, tourism, and financial services. In the 1960s, the discovery of oilfields spurred the development of infrastructure, but Dubai's rulers wisely invested in diversifying the economy. Today, the city is a major transportation hub, with one of the busiest airports in the world and the largest port in the region. I was impressed by how rapidly Dubai transformed from a small trading port into a global city.
