This new groundbreaking project reflects our strategic development plan centered on raising the quality of life and happiness of residents.”

Sheikh Mohammed further stated that Dubai has entered a new phase of development driven by innovation and creativity. 

“By taking advantage of the opportunities arising from the evolving global environment, Dubai’s competitiveness and reputation as a thriving global business and tourism hub continue are set to grow further. We remain committed to shaping a brighter future both for our people and the world. The urban expansion that Palm Jebel Ali represents is a testament to Dubai’s economic dynamism. It also signifies Dubai’s exceptional outlook as a hub for talent and investment.
