Q: Thinking about going on holiday to Dubai this Summer.. I've been before and absolutely loved it, but this was a few years ago before the Palm Island construction really got underway. I'm just wondering, is the place a complete building site? Or is holidaying there whilst it's being built still as enjoyable? Another question - On jumeriah beach, which hotels are furthest away from the site? Thanks!
A: Well, still lots of construction going on around Dubai, but actually that is not a problem at all. There are enough places to go that are finished. The construction on the Palm is not visible when you are around in Dubai. See these maps to give you an idea how far the hotels are from the Palm Jumeirah construction: http://www.startpagedubai.com/maps/Dubai-maps-main-hotel-locations.htm If you were here a few years ago you will be amazed. 2 Huge malls have been build from scratch and completed: Mall of the Emirates with the ski-slope and Dubai Festival City.
