When to visit

The best time to visit Palm Jumeirah is during the winter months from November to March when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers in Dubai can be extremely hot, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Celsius. It is advisable to avoid visiting during the peak summer months of June to August. The shoulder seasons of spring and autumn offer a good balance of weather and fewer crowds.

Getting around

Getting around Palm Jumeirah is easy with taxis, ride-hailing services like Uber, and rental cars readily available. The Palm Monorail connects the trunk of the island to the mainland, providing a convenient mode of transportation. Visitors can also explore the area on foot or by renting bicycles. Water taxis and ferries offer scenic views of the Palm Jumeirah from the water.

Traveller tips

Make sure to book accommodation in advance, especially during the peak tourist season. Respect the local customs and dress modestly when visiting public places. Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. Bargaining is common in local markets, so don't hesitate to negotiate prices. Be mindful of the cultural norms and avoid public displays of affection.
