Hello,
Just about to move to Dubai and thinking about living on the palm jumeriah. Want to know if it is ok and safe to swim in the waters around the fronds of the palm? Ie can you swim and use the waters or are they just a very pricey view?
Thx

Hi

You can swim in the water but depending on the time of year sometimes there are loads of jellyfish - I kayak on the fronds and before the summer there were millions of them - Im not a sea swimmer but the kids dont have a prob swimming in it when it is safe.

Hope this helps

I have a couple of friends with Villas on the fronds and there is no way you`d catch me swimming in there, it just looks like a stagnant pond and is really not very inviting. There just isn`t enough of a current to keep the water moving.

Water circulation takes around 1-2 months to fully clear out, it gets very stagnant...

Loads of jellys and also urchins!
