If you think the world’s largest man-made island is beautiful with the sun up, wait till you see it at night.
Dubai-based property developer Nakheel just unveiled a new lighting project on Palm Jumeirah that will feature colorful optical displays on special events such as the UAE National Day and New Year’s eve.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, toured Cityscape Global 2017 on Tuesday, September 12, where he was briefed on the latest real estate developments in the emirate.
At Cityscape, Nakheel unveiled its series of projects including six new residential, retail and hospitality developments across Dubai worth about Dh3.2 billion.
“We continue to deliver and diversify in line with government goals and our own business strategy. And while development remains our core business, we are focusing on growing our hospitality, retail and leasing divisions by creating a range of new hotels, resorts, F&B destinations, malls and tourists attractions across the city,” Emirates News Agency (WAM) quoted Nakheel Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah as saying.
The light show will change, but will primarily be in the colours of the UAE flag and in a range of blues (to reflect the seaside location of the Palm).
