Best Schools Around Palm Jumeirah

Written by Sepehr Heidari

Palm Jumeirah is Dubai's most captivating offshore destination due to its unique palm tree-inspired form, consisting of a trunk with 17 fronds all crowned by a circular crescent. Located off the coastal area of Jumeirah Beach, it is part of the three Palm Islands – Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira. In addition to all the premium amenities that complement each of the residences, Palm Jumeirah is ideally located in close proximity to some of the best schools in Dubai, which are easily accessible courtesy of the Palm’s main roadway.
