"Dubai Marina/Palm Jumeirah" Top 5 Page for this destination By Sea Tip by colin_bramso

First thing to say is that I haven't had a chance to do this myself yet...but it looks good.

The RTA has a new ferry service running from Dubai Marina, the route map showing that it sails out of one end of the marina, around & through (under a bridge) Palm Jumeirah island and back into the other end of the marina.

I've been on another boat through the marina and the view from the water is spectacular. I would say that it will give the best view of Palm Jumeirah too, because the drive onto the island itself is just a drive on a multi-lane highway between high-rise apartment blocks - you can't go onto the fronds and you don't see the beaches or water.

You'll also get great views from the ocean side of Burj Al Arab, the string of beach hotels and the marina.

The ferry operates from Dubai Marina Mall Station four times a day. Fare is AED50 or AED75 (Gold or Silver tickets).
