Where IFA Hotels & Resorts builds

Palm Jumeirah Palm Jumeirah Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island that follows the shape of a palm tree with sixteen symmetrical fronds where expensive villas, incredible hotels, a water park, and many kilometers of beautiful beaches are located. The island is smaller than Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira, but Palm Jumeirah is the first of its kind. It is a famous symbol of the UAE along with Burj Al Arab and the Burj Khalifa. The world’s largest man-made island is also a world-famous brand that embodies Dubai’s unquenchable thirst to achieve what seems impossible. The island extends into the Arabian Gulf for five kilometers, and its creation took six years and USD 12,000,000,000 to build. AED 4.50m Area median AED 5,228 per sq. ft.
