Nakheel is the uniquely focused property development company behind a variety of new landmark developments in Dubai. Its goal is to ultimately implement unique, iconic and genuine solutions that have been created after detailed planning and research.
Since The launch of The Palm, the worlds largest man made island, in 2001 from the vision provided by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defence Minister, the Nakheel portfolio has grown tremendously. The Palm helped to capture the world`s attention and raise the profile of Dubai in the global arena. The visionary concept marked the beginning of Nakheel`s extraordinary journey which has since seen the company add several mega projects to their stunning property portfolio. Amongst these include a number of developments that compare in magnitude with The Palm, Jumeriah, these include The Palm, Jebel Ali, The Palm, Deira, The World, The Jumeriah Islands, International City, Ibn Battuta Mall, Discovery Gardens, Nakheel Golf and the most recently launched, Dubai Waterfront Company.
