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.
