Palm Jumeirah is where you stay for a resort holiday, with many hotels on the crescent facing the open sea. It is quieter than the mainland, so you will rely on the monorail, tram and taxis to see the rest of the city.
We don’t sell tickets or tours. Prices and details come from the operators’ and venues’ own websites, with the date we checked them. How we work
