Jumeirah Palm Tourist Information - Travellers Attractions on the Palm Jumeirah

About Jumeirah Palm:

At the start of the millennium, Dubai had become the fastest growing tourist destination in the world. This placed huge demands on its beaches and the idea was proposed to build a circular island offshore. HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum then had the vision that an island in the shape of a palm leaf would maximise the beach area. To realise the vision took exceptional planning. Nothing on this scale of land reclamation had ever been attempted before and experts were brought in to look at every aspect, from offshore wave conditions to disposal of waste water. A crescent was added to the design, a breakwater that would protect against the worst imaginable sea storms, yet still offer uninterrupted views of the sea.

The Palm Jumeirah has 16 fronds and the 11 kilometre crescent that surrounds the palm itself is home to luxury hotel including the Atlantis Palm and entertainment venues. Built entirely on natural rock and sand, and surrounded by coral reef, Palm Jumeirah provides the ideal place for the holiday of a lifetime.

Palm Jumeirah has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful holiday on the beach in Dubai. Luxurious villas and apartments, amazing tourist attractions, luxury shopping malls and first class restaurants. Whether you just want to relax or immerse yourself in an exciting world of leisure and entertainment, a truly inspirational holiday destination is the Jumeirah Palm Dubai. There's a wide range of daytime activities, including water sports, aquariums, theme parks and of course miles of beautiful beaches. And at night the bars, clubs and shows.
