Palm Islands, Dubai

3.6
#2 of 11 in Nature in Dubai
Island · Hidden Gem · Nature / Park
Arranged in a palm tree shape, the artificial islands of Palm Islands represent a feat of engineering and a pinnacle of modern luxury. Head to one of the many resorts and hotels on the archipelago to experience one of the symbols of the modern city's decadence and development. Take the monorail onto the islands to see the iconic shape come into view and marvel at the artistry and invention of this area reclaimed from the sea. Once there, head to one of the world-class spa facilities, or dine out in a luxury establishment with enviable sea views. Take the guesswork out of planning a Dubai vacation by using our trip itinerary maker.
