in
the
shape
of

10
cool
things
to
do
at
the
Palm
Jumeirah

Dubai.
One
of
the
first
things
that
strike
you
when
visiting
the
Palm
Jumeirah
is
its
size.
This
giant
archipelago
is
visible
from
space
and
the
outer
crescent
is
more
than
10
miles
long.
There’s
also
a
sizable
distance
between
each
hotel,
so
walking
isn’t
advisable.
Taxis
are
cheap
and
plentiful,
and
a
monorail
runs
from
the
base
of
the
trunk
to
the
Atlantis,
making
it
the
ideal
base
for
exploring
the
must-visit
sights
of
the
Palm
Jumeirah.
