Atlantis, the Palm - Resort on the Palm Jumeirah Dubai

 Atlantis, the Palm is a resort on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is a joint venture between Kerzner International Limited and Istithmar PSJC and was completed in September 2008. The architectural design is based heavily on the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.

The resort consists of two towers linked by a bridge, with a total of approximately two thousand rooms. There are two monorail stations connecting the resort to the main section of the Palm Jumeirah islands. The resort also includes a water theme park (160,000 square meters), a conference center, and 20,000 square feet (1,900 m²) of retail space.

In October 2007, the hotel received a shipment of 28 bottlenose dolphins from the Solomon Islands, to be used as part of their aquarium exhibit, called Dolphin Bay.

The move was decried by several environmental groups, particularly for the fact that the export of dolphins had earlier been banned by the Solomon Islands government (after a similar controversial shipment to Mexico). Hotel managers have said that though the dolphins are being trained to interact with visitors, they will not appear in any sort of show or circus-like performance. They have also stated that the health of the dolphins is paramount, and because the bottlenose is not an endangered species, their shipment did not pose a problem. The deal was done with the approval of the United Arab Emirates and Solomon Island governments, through the company Solomon Islands Marine Mammal Education Centre and Exporters Limited (who had successfully overturned the earlier ban in court). The amount of money paid for the dolphins has not been disclosed.

Atlantis, the Palm - Resort on the Palm Jumeirah Dubai Written by Vinodex on 2009-01-21 00:24:34 Only the rich can afford it. With so much poverty and suffering going on in the world, one wonders whether showcases such as these are what the Almighty really had in mind. Who are we trying to please...

Atlantis, the Palm - Resort on the Palm Jumeirah Dubai Written by gmansur on 2009-09-25 07:12:14 I had been to Atlantis Resort last August.But I'm shocked to see the misuse of money there.....No good reason to spent so lot of money which in fact benifeats western world. The Dubai rullers should do some projects for the cause of own people & countries around them. Invest more in Agriculture, Education & Medical research treatment. BCZ after 50/100 years these will be a big stone JUNGLE only. Osman Gani Mansur
