The 11 kilometer Boardwalk at Palm Jumeirah in Dubai has officially opened, marking the completion of yet another new attraction at the world-famous island.
The Dh150 million Boardwalk was created by building out over the rocks of the island’s protective breakwater to produce a six meter wide promenade – and a new destination for fitness and leisure.
It’s located along the crescent and on the doorstep of the island’s growing number of hotels and resorts.
“The Boardwalk is another shining example of how we use creative thinking and innovative engineering to bring more facilities and attractions to Palm Jumeirah,” Nakheel Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah was quoted to have said.
“It’s already proving a popular spot for jogging, walking and sightseeing among both residents and tourists, with many more visitors expected as Dubai’s peak tourist season gets under way,” he added.
