In short:<\/b> Palm Jebel Ali is Nakheel’s second artificial palm, much larger than Palm Jumeirah. After the financial crisis the project lay dormant for years; since 2023 it has been back in development. What’s being sold is mainly waterfront villas, off-plan; the first handovers are due to begin gradually from late 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Location and access<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Palm Jebel Ali lies off the coast of Jebel Ali<\/a> in south-west Dubai. The Marina<\/a> is around 20 minutes away, Downtown<\/a> about 40 minutes. Nearby are Expo City and the future Al Maktoum mega airport<\/a> \u2013 a factor that could lift the location in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The story of the second palm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The island was reclaimed in the early 2000s, shortly after Palm Jumeirah. Construction ground to a halt with the 2008 financial crisis; for more than a decade the palm lay in the sea largely undeveloped. In 2023 Nakheel announced the relaunch with a revised master plan featuring more greenery, beaches and sustainability. Since then villas have been built and sold on the fronds; the first handovers are planned gradually from late 2026 and through 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
