Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Overview

Palm Jumeirah is a stunning man-made island and one of the most iconic landmarks in Dubai. It is designed in the shape of a palm tree, with a central trunk, a crown of 16 fronds, and a crescent surrounding the outer edge. The fronds and crescent of Palm Jumeirah are home to a mix of luxurious villas, apartments, high-end hotels, world-class dining, and exciting entertainment options like Atlantis the Palm, Aquaventure Waterpark, and the Lost Chambers Aquarium.

The principal sectors of Palm Jumeirah have been named Trunk, spine, fronds, and crescent. The entrance to Palm Jumeirah is the broad trunk that connects the mainland by a bridge.

Palm Jumeirah's true beauty unfolds only when you look at it from a helicopter or an aeroplane. The island is shaped like that of a palm tree with highly expensive houses lining the road on both side (Read More)s. You will not realise the palm-structure of the settlement if you're driving in it. Visit this place when you've time to spare or if you drive by it.
