Great pics!

But one of the models is old, the Donald Trump hotel has had a change of design, read a rumor saying that it was impossible to wash its windows

This is the new render:

I'd hate to live at the end of one of those fronds. Would take ages just to get a carton of milk. And imagine the bottleneck traffic jams at peak hours.

If you're living in one of that areas, i would assume you're pretty wealthy. To avoid the bottleneck traffic, put a provision for helipad in your house and order a private chopper for you.

WOW, how awesome it would be?

Where would he find a space for a helipad? The houses occupy as little possible space as possible, not giving the owners much opportunity to put in stuff like a helipad! Anyway, know you are kidding...

It's just another case of non-existent planning in Dubai

If not, home owners association especially the richie rich can contribute more to build a bridge connecting other roads to avoid passing the main road going to the palm, i mean at least an option. Bridge like that of San Francisco of USA.

After all, everything seems to be possible in Dubai. See all the edifices here.

^^ LOL! Can imagine a golden gate bridge linking Al Dhiyafa Road to an island on the World

Or underwater bridge inspired from that of Hong Kong (though it's more of water park), still possible to dig and make an underwater bridge. hmm..sounds cool.

Great Photos Deniz

cool!! I would love to live at the fathest island far away from every1! with beloved man, bathing under the sun topless and noone around. dream! I will hope it come true once. we say that dreaming doesn't harm the health..

cool pictures I wish im there in 2009

Hmm... How deep would it have to go though?!

I would like to see the concept design of an Underwater Bridge, cause I can't get my head around this one

Building bridges AFTER the traffic jams start is typical Dubai. The Shk Zayed Road is ALWAYS under construction.

Just wow , it's soo f%cking pretty

damnn wouldnt know if i would be alive or dead free or in jail but lets hope i get married 2 someones rich mama so i can tell the bi**** to buy me a crib there hahahhahaha

The concept is very simple. If the master developer of the palm can make a man-made island, then why not a bridge underwater or perhaps underwater RTA. Bold projects.

You'll understand this concept if you'll visit Hong Kong. Hope constantine can help me with this.

Hmm, wouldn't that be a tunnel though?

Something like that, but we can see the water creatures cos it will be made of glass instead of concrete materials. Imagine you'll see fishes and marine creatures while traveling to work and going home. It would be like traveling inside the aquarium.

hmm...ambitious eh?!

^^ I heard that most of the water creatures have died or disappeared after they started building the palms and the world

Anyway, Dubai Mall will have the exact same thing, but you will walk through a tunnel rather than drive

But it's simply not a "Bridge", in the conventional sense.

whatever....Ive seen this miniatures in Burjuman....it was good they displayed it there for sometime. You can imagine how much more traffic we have to endure before all these are up

Underwater covered bridge...still a BRIDGE!

I reckon that would be described as a tunnel

I thought I heard that there will be access to the Palm only by boat / ferries?
Or was that The World?

See the pics!! Don't you see the bridges for the Palm?

The World: Helicopters, boats and ferries

They also have a tunnel at the top of the Palm

I was working with a well known real estate developer a few weeks back and they showed me a dossier of projects being built and yet to be announced. There was literally 500 photos of the model mock ups which are shown here, they have armies of Chinese workers building these models exactly to scale.

I can't name the projects as you'll get the developer, but what I saw over the next 5 years is simply breathtaking. You ain't seen nothing yet.
