Palm Jumeirah was designed with an outer ring of man-made land. With lodging & experiences. But also as a protective barrier for the inner palm configuration. Five openings create flow between the inner lagoon & the Persian Gulf.

The palm section has 17 fronds extending above the trunk. Besides their Arabic names, each frond street is lettered A to P. The 18th frond at the island's peak is reminiscent of a palm's spear. With Barrier Island access through the tunnel.

The palm's trunk supports the roadway leading you
from Dubai proper into the heart of the palm.

Problems include erosion because liquefaction causes slushy soil. Then it can't support weight. Gulf currents are now causing Dubai's coastline erosion, which hadn't happened before.

Could these Dubai Palm Tree Islands sink? A 2009 New York Times article reported findings from NASA satellites. That Palm Jumeirah is sinking about 0.2in/5.08mm per year. Nakheel (Project Developer) refutes this.
