The Palm Jumeirah is a construction marvel and is worth visiting if you’re in this cosmopolitan emirate of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. Here’s what you need to know before you check it out.

What Is It?

The Palm Jumeirah Island is an engineering marvel which has left Dubai forever changed. It’s a collection of artificial islands which houses many of Dubai’s uber-luxurious hotels and resorts. It’s also shaped like a palm tree when viewed from above!

Where can I Stay?

With an abundance of choices of accommodation, opting for a central stay is always a good idea. Settling down in a Deira hotel in Dubai such as the Avani Deira Dubai Hotel is a great choice for those who want to be close to the island but also be in the heart of Dubai.
