Those dates are two reflecting mirrors.

The palm tree is a symbol of victory over death, immortality.

The entire island of the Palm Jumeirah and its flagship resort Atlantis, The Palm, were lit up with a display of fireworks tonight, which marked the official launch of this iconic landmark resort.

Custom-made shells shipped in from across the globe, created a light spectacle taking off from the 716 firing locations around the island, including 400 balconies at the resort.

The display followed an unprecedented high definition video illumination sequence, beginning with the Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra, who enacted as The Goddess of Atlantis.

Guests dined on signature dished made by the multi Michelin-starred chefs of the Atlantis.

Thanks for clarification on the palm tree, there are so many definitions on symbols and what they mean how do figure out which is appropriate?

Judy, thanks for starting this great thread, great video of the Rashid Gardens project. I hadn't seen that before.

I was based in Dubai for eleven years till last year, having first gone there in 1990. A great city, and worth a visit for anyone who has never been.

It is already a world city, having developed in an incredibly short time from virtually no more than a desert village when i was first there. It is safe and welcoming, and has an amazing cross section of the world's population there, who largely live in complete harmony.

Sadly it has been recently hit by a huge economic downturn, inevitable as it got over hyped and over-extended, but in a year or two it will recover. The Sheikhs there are true visionaries.

Your welcome, there are so many amazing projects being built there filled with symbolism, I read that 25% of the cranes in operation in the world are in Dubai.
