During her official visit to the United Arab Emirates, Karla Peijs, Dutch Minister of Transport, Public Works and Water Management and European Minister (PPE) along with a delegation of Dutch businessmen visited the Nakheel Sales Centre on Al Sufouh Road recently. During the visit the delegation was given a presentation on Nakheel’s projects.
Wahid Attalla, Executive Director for Nakheel, met with Karla Peijis and headed the presentations to the Dutch delegation. They were interested in seeing Nakheel’s internationally renowned projects. A detailed presentation was also given on the latest technology that is being implemented within the transport systems, as well as the undertaking of creating a ten lane bridge which will connect the Sheikh Zayed Road to The Palm, Jumeirah.
He also mentioned that the infrastructure implementation was running well on schedule with much of the footprints where either completed or clearly visible and on full view to the world from the sky.
During the tour and presentation, Attalla outlined the key components of the projects within the Nakheel portfolio and highlighted the positive opportunities these will all deliver to Dubai - particularly from the tourism perspective. “Nakheel has been one of the driving forces behind creating a unique new concept of leisure, living and tourism and offering extraordinary experiences to residents and visitors alike. The expansion of Dubai’s coast line is a unique achievement in itself and Nakheel will continue to demonstrate that its developments not only enhance Dubai as a premier international tourist destination but are also an ideal international residential option as well,” he said.
Peijs and the delegation were later escorted on a special one-hour long sightseeing boat tour organised by Nakheel in order to get a feel for The Palm, Jumeirah and The World to better understand the reclamation and development process of creating these islands. The tour gave the projects more substance and demonstrated that these iconic developments were much more than just concepts.
