The Palm Jumeirah, often hailed as the eighth wonder of the world, houses nearly 20 hotels and resorts along with over 4,000 luxury apartments.
Constructed in the shape of a palm tree, this largest man-made island was completed in six years.
It features 17 fronds, each dotted with numerous villas, low-rise buildings, and private beaches.
An interesting layout divides the Palm: residences on the fronds, apartments along the trunk, and world-famous hotels on the crescent.
Ideal for singles and families alike, the Palm Jumeirah offers easy access externally via metro or tram, and internally through a dedicated 5-station monorail that runs from the gateway to the tip.
