Palm Jumeirah Monorail (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Palm Jumeirah Monorail?
What makes it 72% Baby-Friendly: Stroller access, elevators and a nursing room at Nakheel Mall aid parents, yet Palm Gateway and Al Ittihad Park lack change tables and peak crowds can squeeze space, so comfort is good but not perfect.
Positives:
- Stroller-friendly Access: Level boarding and dedicated stroller space on each train make boarding easy.
- Baby Facilities: Free Parents & Kids Room and baby-change tables at Nakheel Mall station.
Challenges:
- Limited Shade: Outdoor platforms get hot at midday; plan to wait inside the air-conditioned cabin.
- Station Amenities Vary: Only Nakheel Mall station offers nursing rooms; other stations have standard restrooms.

Connects Palm Jumeirah/Atlatis water park with Dubai tram. Having multiple ticket options but multiple entries ticket would cost 35D per person.

Watch out for "Time Share / Property" toutes at the Gatway station. We were offered free train tickets if we went on a tour. We declined, paid for our tickets, then enjoyed the ride to Atlantis. The train can get busy, it has air conditioning. You need to buy a separate / new tickets as your metro ticket doesn't transfer. Enjoyable with great views.

A little overhyped. A decent monorail experience in Dubai near palm Jumeirah beach consisting of few stations. But most of the sea views obstructed by nearby buildings. If you travel in the front part of the train you can expect a better views. One time experience is ok.
