The islands were created using land reclamation. The Palm Jumeriah construction was done by a Dutch specialist dredging company, Van Oord. The same company also created The World. The recently opened destinations The Pointe, Club Vista Mare and Nakheel Mall are the latest additions to Palm Jumeirah.[6]
