The  Jebel Ali Palm is more of an entertainment destination for both adults  and children, which caters to both residents and tourists. The island  will also be 50% larger than the Palm Jumeirah, and will include six  marinas, a 'Sea Village', a water theme park and water homes built on  stilts between the fronds and the crescent. Construction began on the  Palm Jebel Ali in October 2002.
