canoeing, and peddle-boating, walking trails, walkway bridges and a community
club. A variety of elements ranging from exquisite architecture to cascading
waterfalls, bountiful gardens, romantic promenades, luxury marinas and
an exclusive resort will all come together to form part of the experience
of Jumeirah Islands. A number of apartment buildings located on the fronds
will be launched by the end of 2004.
