The Palm Monorail welcomed its first official riders last week. A group from the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and developers Nakheel rode the light rail system on the Palm Jumeirah from the Gateway Station to the Atlantis Aquaventure Station. The 5.5 kilometre journey took 8 minutes.

Nakheel announced that the monorail will open to the public in April 2009.
