Palm Jumeirah is among the world's largest man-made islands, developed by Nakheel and launched in 2001. Nakheel describes it as extending five kilometres into the Arabian Gulf in the shape of a palm tree, with approximately 25,000 residents and a mix of luxury residences and waterfront homes, retail destinations, marinas, leisure attractions and five-star hospitality. Nakheel states that Palm Jumeirah is a designated freehold area, allowing foreign nationals full ownership rights for apartments and villas. The island is home to Al Ittihad Park, described as the UAE's first indigenous park, and to Nakheel Mall. The Palm Monorail, which Nakheel calls the Middle East's first monorail system, runs along the spine of the island, connecting Gateway Towers, Al Ittihad Park, Nakheel Mall and Atlantis Aquaventure, and links to the Dubai Tram and the wider Metro network. Homes range from apartments to villas, and prices, service charges and views vary widely by building and frond.
