Dubai Neighbourhood Guide: Palm Jumeirah

Take a trip to Dubai’s legendary palm tree-shaped island, Palm Jumeirah, and explore the neighbourhood through the culinary lens of two homegrown eateries.

One of Dubai’s most notable landmarks, the Palm Jumeirah neighbourhood is home to many of the city’s beach clubs, luxury residences and hotels, and globally renowned restaurants. The location, iconic in itself, brings together a colourful community of tourists, residents and locals to experience Dubai’s beautiful coast and glistening sea just 15 minutes away from the cosmopolitan city, not to mention its offering of international flavours across the island.

Located in East Palm’s Club Vista Mare, Lebanese Bib Gourmand restaurant, Ibn Albahr, is the place to go for a relaxing atmosphere by the beach, paired with authentic mezze and a wide selection fresh fish and seafood caught daily. As for those looking for a touch of glamour, head over to Atlantis The Royal, where celebrity chef, Ariana Bundy, serves elevated Persian cuisine at MICHELIN-selected restaurant, Ariana’s Persian Kitchen.
