Jumeirah First vs Palm Jumeirah: Which Costs More?

Palm Jumeirah runs 1% above Jumeirah First on median AED/sqm (31,765 AED/sqm in Jumeirah First against 32,036 AED/sqm in Palm Jumeirah). That gap is widest for Apartment — 3 Bed+, where Jumeirah First runs 98% above Palm Jumeirah. The headline number is driven by that unit type rather than a uniform premium across the board.
