How long did it take to make the Palm Islands?

The Palm Islands in Dubai, which include Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali, and Palm Deira, took several years to construct. Palm Jumeirah, the first and most famous of the three, began construction in 2001 and was largely completed by 2006, with ongoing development continuing in subsequent years. Palm Jebel Ali's construction started in 2002 but faced delays and has not been fully completed. Overall, the entire project spanned over a decade, with various phases of development and expansion.
