Dubai real estate giant Nakheel plans to resurrect Palm Jebel Ali in Dubai as it seeks contractors to complete the reclamation works, MEED reported.

In a statement to AGBI, a Nakheel spokesperson also previously confirmed to Arabian Business that, “the Palm Jebel Ali masterplan is being revisited,” with more details on the way.”

Palm Jebel Ali, which is three times bigger than Palm Jumeirah, is “95 percent complete”, MEED reported, referring to an interview with former Nakheel executive chairman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem.
