All vikisLocation and Drive Times
Palm Springs sits in Jebel Ali between Sheikh Zayed Road and Palm Jebel Ali. Nakheel's map gives 14 minutes to Palm Jebel Ali, 23 to Al Maktoum International Airport and 30 to Burj Al Arab, with a Metro station planned next to the site.
Palm Springs occupies a block on the coast side of Sheikh Zayed Road in Jebel Ali, directly inland from Palm Jebel Ali. These are the drive times on the location map Nakheel published for the Nov 9, 2026 launch (briefing):
| Destination | Drive |
|---|---|
| Palm Jebel Ali | 14 min |
| Bluewaters Island | 20 min |
| Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) | 23 min |
| Palm Jumeirah | 25 min |
| Burj Al Arab | 30 min |
Another page of the same briefing says "approximately 20 minutes" to Al Maktoum Airport, and puts Yas Island in Abu Dhabi 50 to 60 minutes away.
Getting around without a car
Two links are planned rather than built, as far as Nakheel's material says. The Metro station shown at the site's southern edge is described as "planned" and "an extension of the red line", and the briefing notes close proximity to Etihad Rail's Al Yalayis station. It gives no opening date for either.
Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Maktoum Airport Street run alongside. Nakheel also says the site adjoins the Jebel Ali coast and natural reserve.
We think drive times to the east matter more than the map suggests: Burj Al Arab is the nearest named point of old Dubai at 30 minutes, and anyone commuting toward Downtown should time that drive at rush hour before choosing here.
