Dubai Marina

and Palm Jumeirah

Far south of the city you’ll find the most evidence of modern Dubai’s
growth. Little over a decade ago most of this area was nothing but
sand and sea. Now, it’s a whole new city within a city. The skyscrapers
of the Dubai Marina district run unbroken for several kilometres
along the coast, enclosing a futuristic marina that is backed by a
swathe of beach and huge resorts. Offshore lies the Palm Jumeirah,
the world’s largest artificial island, crowned by the Atlantis resort.
