The Palm Deira is an artificial archipelago under construction, located alongside Deira town. The largest of the three Palm Islands, Palm Deira on completion will cover an area greater than the city of Paris. 

The Palm Deira on the eastern coast of the emirate arises between Port Hamriya and the mouth of Dubai Creek. Spanning 42 square kilometres, it will feature low-rise residential villas, townhouses and two-storey homes on the 41 fronds of the islands. Three bridges with 12 lanes each will connect the development with mainland Dubai.The Palm Deira consists of 23 small islands and the larger Deira Island, which can accommodate one-fifth of the entire development’s total projected population of one million. The development is divided into nine subdistricts and will be linked to the Deira district by bridges. It is expected to be completed by 2015.
