Dubai - Mubasher: Nakheel officially inaugurated its new 11 kilometre Boardwalk at Palm Jumeirah in Dubai on Monday.

The opening of the AED150 million boardwalk was attended by Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah, according to a press release.

The boardwalk was created by building out over the rocks of the island’s protective breakwater to produce a six metre wide promenade and a new destination for fitness, leisure and socialising.

“The Boardwalk is another shining example of how we use creative thinking and innovative engineering to bring more facilities and attractions to Palm Jumeirah,” said Ali Rashid Lootah, the chairman of Nakheel.

“This unique destination is one of a series of new projects under way on the island as part of our ongoing commitment to further enhance this world-famous landmark.”

“It’s already proving a popular spot for jogging, walking and sightseeing among both residents and tourists, with many more visitors expected as Dubai’s peak tourist season gets under way,” added Lootah.
