Palm Jumeirah, an artificial island fashioned like a palm tree and home to opulent resorts and golden beaches, will astound you as you cruise the shoreline.

Flying over the Global Islands, an archipelago of 300 islands that resembles a global map and extends far out into the open sea, is the true highlight.
