United Arab Emirates
Volgende stop: Palm Jumeirah
Een ding dat we leuk vonden aan Dubai is de combinatie van bruisend stadsleven en ontspannende strandvibes. Daarom kozen we ervoor om de tweede helft van onze reis op Palm Jumeirah te verblijven. Op deze dag verkenden we de View, de Pointe en Palm West Beach.
Check in at Adagio Premium The Palm Hotel
The Palm Jumeirah is definitely a more high-end area of Dubai, but with the Adagio Premium The Palm Hotel, we still found a budget-friendly option right on the vibrant West Beach with beautiful, spacious rooms.
Admire the actual palm from the View
Our first stop on Palm Jumeirah was the View at the Palm, a new observation deck from where you can admire the history and view of the world-famous palm structure. We did find the tickets (about 20 euros) a bit pricey, but it's still the most affordable option to enjoy this iconic view.
Aan de voet van de View vind je het Nakheel winkelcentrum. Van daaruit kun je de monorail nemen die helemaal naar het beroemde Atlantis resort gaat. Deze metro lijn nemen is op zich al een ervaring.
Coffee, beach, and resort views at the Pointe
Just one monorail stop away from the View, you will find an area that is called the Pointe. Even though there isn't all too much to see here, it's a nice spot to enjoy a nice lunch or coffee break with impeccable views of the iconic Atlantis resorts (yes there's two now). Our favorite cafe here was Brunch & Cake.
Mexican food with a view
Our first night on The Palm Jumeirah we decided to stroll down West Beach boulevard for dinner and ended up at Señor Pico, a relatively affordable Mexican restaurant with great vibes, taco's, and views of the beach and Dubai Marina skyscrapers. Truly a great spot for a casual dinner with an amazing view at not even 5 minutes walking distance from our hotel.
