Nakheel, the UAE leading’s property developer, welcomed the King of Malaysia, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin, to the Nakheel Sales Centre as part of a high profile delegation to the UAE.
His Majesty Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin was greeted by Chris O’Donnell, Nakheel Chief Executive, and Manal Shaheen, Director Sales, Marketing & Customer Service.  The King received a tour of the Nakheel Sales Centre, including a look at the project models, and a theatre presentation about Nakheel's developments such as The Palm, The World and Dubai Waterfront. 

The King was also treated to a boat trip to The Palm Jumeirah where he expressed admiration for Nakheel’s vision in creating such iconic developments.
Chris O’Donnell said: "We are honoured that such a prestigious guest has shown such a keen interest in Nakheel's developments. Nakheel has attracted worldwide attention with its iconic projects that have become benchmarks in property development and this has resulted in huge interest from all over the world.
“During the boat trip to The Palm Jumeirah, His Majesty expressed great interest in the reclamation process, and was genuinely astounded by the rate of progress of the island; he was amazed that just five years after placing the first grain of sand in the Arabian Gulf, we had come so far and The Palm Jumeirah was fast becoming a reality.”
