Palm Jumeirah, United Arab Emirates
A spectacular new man-made island has been built near Dubai in the shape of a palm. On the island will be upscale residences, resorts and attractions. Hitachi has been selected to build a monorail system to connect major points on the trunk island with the gateway. The system will be driverless, but attendants will be onboard in the same way as a similar monorail has at Tokyo Disney Resort. The system will be the first major monorail in the Middle East. |
