Is Nakheel a government developer and what did it build?

Yes. Nakheel is a Dubai government developer, founded around 2000, famous for Palm Jumeirah, Deira/Dubai Islands, Jumeirah Islands and Palm Jebel Ali. In March 2024 it was merged into Dubai Holding, alongside Meydan, and no longer operates as a standalone entity. Its waterfront land bank is unmatched, though it saw some delays around the 2009 downturn.
