Palm Jumeirah is a man-made island shaped like a palm tree and one of Dubai's boldest engineering projects. This is where one of the most spectacular ways to see the city begins — from a bird's-eye view.

Within minutes, the scenery transforms: glittering skyscrapers stand alongside golden desert sands and the turquoise expanse of the Persian Gulf. The panorama unfolds quickly and dramatically, leaving you with the feeling of flying over two different worlds at once.
