Palm Jebel Ali is another island similarly shaped to the Palm Jumeirah and slightly larger. And like Palm Jumeirah, this artificial island was built quickly in the early years of the 2000s.

After the financial crisis of 2008, development slowed down. In fact, construction on Palm Jebel Ali was suspended in 2009, and relatively less change is visible between the 2008 and the 2022 images.

Planning is again underway to develop the island but at a slower pace. Similar to Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali will include apartments, homes, offices, and hotels.
