In 2023, over 17million people visited Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

The city has rapidly become one of the most in demand holiday destinations in the world thanks to its weather, beaches, and wealth of experiences on offer. 

One of the major attractions in Dubai is Palm Jumeirah, the palm tree-shaped man-made island that is home to some of the world's best hotels.

The island cost a staggering £9.5billion to build, and is comprised of 120 million cubic metres of sand and seven million tonnes of rocks.

An 11km breakwater was also built to protect the island from adverse weather conditions.

Its hotels, shopping centres, and restaurants have attracted some of the wealthiest and most famous people from around the world.

The trunk section of the island is filled with shops and a residential area, while the homes and villas are found in the leaf sections.

The outer crescent is used for luxury resorts.

The buildings on the island range from townhouses and hotels to bigger apartments and villas.

Apartments range from under 400 square feet all the way to 11,744 square feet, including homes with six bedrooms.

Villas range from 4,000 and 35,000 square feet, with between two and 10 bedrooms.

They offer direct access to nearby beaches.
