There are several large apartment blocks built on the trunk. Atlantis Hotel and its supporting developments is built on the crescent. The expensive villas are built on the fronds. Almost all developments have a waterfront.
The development is served by a monorail system that is connected to the Dubai Metro. It is opening in April 2009.
Atlantis is a popular attraction for the locals and tourists. You can watch this video to get an idea of the Palm. There is a tunnel that goes under the water connecting the mainland to the Palm and from the trunk to the crescent of the Palm.
