- Traveveller00849Gandhidham, India70 contributionsReally nice and pleasing to watch. A lot of people gather around to watch the show which makes it crowded and difficult to find a spot at the front railing. The duration is small so just focus when it's in full swingWritten 21 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Traveveller00849Gandhidham, India70 contributionsIt is huge. It took four to five walkways to get there. The view along the way is interesting because you can see the city. The mall itself is beautiful and very well planned. There is a lovely dining area on the main floor where we enjoyed a coffee and a delicious dessert albeit pricey. There is so much to see so plan a day for it.Written 21 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Traveveller00849Gandhidham, India70 contributionsIt’s a really beautiful mall with all the necessities included in it, from shopping of clothes to various dining experiences and options. It would be a really fun experience for kids as well since there are activities such as indoor skiing.Written 21 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Greg6 contributionsThe amount of shops/stalls selling gold jewellery is extensive. Most of the articles for sale are the same in the different shops, yet everyone is busy. Don’t take the 1st or 2nd price- be ready to bargain.
The area is in the old sector- be prepared to be harassed to make a purchase- all part of the experience……

- JudeeLivermore, CA1,593 contributionsI got to this very clean, powdery sand beach from the old Dubai souk area by metro and then taxi. It was very quiet when I arrived around 1 PM and was even able to get a lounger under an umbrella. The water was warm and salty, but with my swim goggles on I could swim to the ropes and back. There are lifeguards watching and this is open 24 hours with these huge lights for the night time.
There are clean bathrooms with no toilet paper so I had to take off a rating point for that. I don’t see a lot of parking available so come by taxi, or public transportation. I noticed a very wide and clean path to jog or scooter on as well. Today wasn’t a big party day, maybe it’s crazy at night time. I enjoyed then peaceful time and recommend this beach. There are no restaurants right on the beach so bring your own picnic!Written 13 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I will add if you’re a male make sure when leaving the beach area to put a top back on I made the mistake of leaving with no top on to walk back to my hotel and was stopped by security to put it back on. They’re strict on laws but that gives you a feeling of security.Written 1 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- schmidtmgSwitzerland1,146 contributionsOne of the engineering and architectural feats of Dubai, Palm Jumeirah should at least be visited. The artificial island in form of a giant palm tree features top end residences, luxury hotels, the giant Atlantis hotel and the brand new ultra luxury Atlantis The Royal. There is a monorail with four stops, a very convenient means to get around, and the day pass is not expensive. A water park and aquarium caters for families with kids.Written 1 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NICHOLAS TDubai, United Arab Emirates10,904 contributionsThis is a really well designed area in the traditional Dubai style.
There are lots of streets which take you back in time and plenty of retail, food and beverage, hotels and the museum of illusions.
It is built alongside the old town creek.
There is lots of parking.Written 17 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were places for changing, showers (closed ones not working for some reason, and wish people were cleaner as they used showers as bathrooms when they are full), and bathrooms. Overall it was a good experience, but it could be excellent with extra security and control not to allow people to damage the placeWritten 9 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
