The palm-shaped island with resorts and a water park.
Address: Palm Jumeirah, Dubai (Atlantis The Palm, Crescent Road)
Palm Jumeirah was built between 2001 and 2006 by dredging sand from the seabed and protecting it with an 11-km breakwater of rock. Its trunk, 16 fronds and outer crescent added dozens of kilometres of new beachfront to Dubai.
Atlantis The Palm opened on the crescent in 2008 with its famous water park and aquarium, followed by Atlantis The Royal in 2023. The View at The Palm, on the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower, shows the island's shape from above.
