Nakheel, 10 November 2026.
The routes are planned to link every neighbourhood with the parks, shops and leisure areas. Shaded corridors and climate-responsive planting are part of the design.
02Where it sits
Palm Springs lies in Hessyan, Jebel Ali, on the inland side of Sheikh Zayed Road opposite Palm Jebel Ali. Nakheel places it within Dubai's southern growth corridor, with links to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Maktoum International Airport.
Nakheel links the plan to the wider growth of southern Dubai, including the investment in Al Maktoum International and Expo City Dubai. Palm Jebel Ali itself lies across the road.
03What it means if you are buying
The first release at Palm Springs is townhouses and standalone villas, with expected prices from AED 3.8M. Our Palm Springs page lists the unit types, sizes and the price per sq ft.
Handover and the payment plan are on request. Ask which neighbourhood and cluster your home sits in, and how far it is from the schools, the central park and the country club.
Buyers comparing the area can also look at Nakheel's homes on the island itself, including Frond F villas and Palm Central Private Residences.
