Nakheel says all the rock and sand used to build the island could form a two-meter-high wall that would circle the globe three times. The hectare 1,acre island is so massive, that Mansour and the team used satellite guided technology to help build the frond-shaped island.

The review took Mansour and his team 10 weeks to complete. Reaching new heights.

Part of the new Palm Tower slated to open fully later this year, the View at the Palm is the island's latest attraction, joining others such as the Atlantis resort and Palm West Beach.
