About this audio guide
This guide to the Palm Jumeirah Boardwalk follows the crescent breakwater built before the island's fronds or residents existed, when engineers poured millions of tons of rock into the Gulf to hold back the sea. You'll hear about the view back toward Dubai from the outer edge, past the Burj Al Arab and the Atlantis hotel, and what it took to engineer an island out of open water. Walk it on a weekday morning, when the eleven-kilometre promenade can feel almost empty.
