October to April — cooler, drier weather and more comfortable outdoor conditions for beaches and sightseeing. Summer months (June–September) can be extremely hot and humid.

Hot desert climate: mild, pleasant winters (December–February) with daytime temperatures often 20–30°C (68–86°F); very hot summers (June–August) with daytime highs regularly above 40°C (104°F) and high humidity near the coast.

Nearest major airport: Dubai International Airport (DXB) (~30–40 km) and Al Maktoum International (DWC) (~50–60 km). Public transit: take the Dubai Metro (Red Line) to Dubai Marina / Dubai Internet City areas and transfer by taxi, tram or bus. The Palm Monorail links the Gateway station on the trunk to Atlantis on the crescent — useful for sightseeing. Ample taxis, ride-hailing (Careem, Uber), and private transfers are available. Many hotels, malls and public areas offer parking and wheelchair-accessible facilities, but accessibility can vary by venue — confirm with each hotel or attraction in advance.

Short visit: 3–6 hours to walk the Boardwalk, ride the monorail, and visit The Pointe or Atlantis public areas. Overnight stay: 1–3 nights to enjoy resort amenities, waterpark access, dining and a relaxed experience.

Light, breathable clothing for daytime; swimwear and beach cover-ups for beach or pool areas; sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses). Evenings at upscale restaurants and hotel lounges often require smart casual attire. Comfortable walking shoes for the boardwalk and sightseeing.

Palm Jumeirah offers a wide range of international and Emirati cuisine in its hotels and waterfront restaurants — notable options include fresh seafood, Arabic mezze, and modern fusion menus. For souvenirs buy dates, Arabic sweets, perfumes (oud/parfum), local spices or luxury-brand items from nearby malls. Many visitors also pick up hotel or resort-branded memorabilia.
