Additional Video Information

Dubai built one of the most extraordinary artificial islands on Earth, shaped like a giant palm tree and surrounded by the waters of the Persian Gulf. But with millions of tons of sand and rock sitting on the seabed, one question keeps coming up: why isn't Palm Jumeirah sinking? Engineers had to overcome shifting sand, powerful waves, erosion, and the enormous pressure of building an entire island in the sea. The secret lies in massive breakwaters, carefully compacted sand, and engineering techniques designed to keep this artificial paradise in place. But the technology holding Palm Jumeirah together is far more fascinating than its incredible shape. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video is made for entertainment purposes.
