About Palm Jumeirah
The Persian Gulf coast of Dubai carries Palm Jumeirah, an artificial palm-shaped archipelago jutting five kilometres offshore and completed in 2008, with the 1,500-room Atlantis The Palm resort anchoring the outer crescent breakwater. Palm West Beach runs along the trunk's southern flank as a free public strand with casual cafés, while The Pointe sits at the opposite end with a fountain show and waterfront promenade. Sea temperatures climb between 31 and 33 °C88 and 91 °F from July through September, with Dubai International airport thirty minutes by road.
