Palm Jumeirah: Dubai's Palm-Shaped Island Paradise

Palm Jumeirah Dubai is a palm-shaped artificial island in Dubai, built into the Arabian Gulf. It is home to Atlantis The Palm, luxury resorts, and soft sandy beaches. A Palm Jumeirah tour is one of the easiest ways to see Dubai’s coast, skyline, and island life in one visit.

Seen from above, the island looks like a palm tree, with a trunk, fronds, and a crescent. The View at The Palm, on Palm Tower Level 52, gives 360-degree views of the island, the Gulf, and the Dubai skyline.
