Palm Deira
The Palm Deira is an artificial archipelago, part of the Palm Islands, Dubai. It was announced for development in October 2004. The first announced design was 8 times larger than the Palm Jumeirah, and 5 times larger than the Palm Jebel Ali,
and was intended to house one million people. Originally, the design
called for a 14 by 8.5 kilometres (8.7 by 5.3 mi) island with 41 fronds.
Due to a substantial change in depth in the Persian Gulf the farther
out the island goes, the island was redesigned in May 2007. The project
then became a 12.5 by 7.5 kilometres (7.8 by 4.7 mi) island with 18
larger fronds. It will be located alongside Deira. The project is currently on-hold.

The Palm Islands are an artificial archipelago in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on which major commercial and residential infrastructures will be constructed. They are being constructed by Nakheel Properties, a property developer in the United Arab Emirates, who hired Belgian and Dutch dredging and marine contractor Jan De Nul and Van Oord, some of the world’s specialists in land reclamation. The islands are the Palm Jumeirah, the Palm Jebel Ali and the Palm Deira.
Palm Deira is the latest of Dubai’s trilogy of man-made islands. This island will occupy all of 46.35 million square meters of land reclaimed from the Persian Gulf to make the Palm Deira the largest man-made island in the entire world. All set to be finished by the year 2013, the island will further alter the landscape of effervescent Dubai!

The Palm Deira is an artificial archipelago, part of the Palm Islands, Dubai. It was announced for development in October 2004.[1] The first announced design was 8 times larger than the Palm Jumeirah, and 5 times larger than the Palm Jebel Ali,
and was intended to house one million people. Originally, the design
called for a 14 by 8.5 kilometres (8.7 by 5.3 mi) island with 41 fronds.
Due to a substantial change in depth in the Persian Gulf the farther
out the island goes, the island was redesigned in May 2007. The project
then became a 12.5 by 7.5 kilometres (7.8 by 4.7 mi) island with 18
larger fronds. It will be located alongside Deira. The project is currently on-hold.
By early October 2007, 20% of the island's reclamation was complete,
with a total of 200 million cubic metres (7 billion cubic feet) of sand
already used. Then in early April 2008, Nakheel announced that more than
a quarter of the total area of the Palm Deira had been reclaimed.
This amounted to 300 million cubic metres (10.6 billion cubic feet) of
sand.
Since the island is so large, it is being developed in several
phases. The first one is the creation of Deira Island. This portion of
the Palm will sit alongside the Deira Corniche between the entrance to Dubai Creek and Al Hamriya Port. Promotional materials state that Deira Island will act as "the gateway to The Palm Deira" and help to revitalize the aging area of Deira.By early April 2008, 80% of Deira Island Front's reclamation was complete.
