The View at the Palm is an incredible spot to enjoy the best view of Palm Jumeirah, a man-made island shaped like a palm tree from a birds-eye perspective.

Palm Jumeirah took close to 6 years to be built, and this artificial island is now home to very posh residential areas and hotels-high-end restaurants-shopping venues and incredible attractions.

Overall, reviewers had a good experience at The View at the Palm. They appreciated the good views of Palm Jumeirah and the sunset, and found the staff to be polite and professional.

The View at the Palm Opening Hours

The View at the Palm opens Monday to Thursday from 9 AM to 10 PM and Friday to Sunday from 9 AM to 12 AM. The last entry is one hour before closing time. 

How To Get to The View at the Palm-Dubai

The View at the Palm is directly connected to the Nakheel Mall Rooftop.

The most convenient way to get there is by taxi. I usually use the Careem app to call taxis around Dubai.

If you’d instead reach Nakheel Mall by public transportation-you’ll need to first get to Palm Gateway and then take the monorail to Nakheel Mall station.

You can take the metro red line to Al Khail Metro Station or Dubai Internet City Metro station, then take a taxi or the tram to Palm Gateway, where you’ll take the monorail. You can check Dubai’s monorail timings here. 

Honestly-I tend to use public transportation most of the time in Dubai-but this is one of the times I would opt for a taxi – it will save you a lot of time and hassle.

Once in the mall, head to the rooftop and follow the signs for The View at the Palm.

View Point at the Palm 

The View at the Palm is the place to fully appreciate the iconic Palm Jumeirah island, one of the United Arab Emirates’ world-renowned landmarks.

Its encircled palm shape can only be clearly seen from above, and that’s why the palm tower is such a popular spot to catch the sights of the famous attractions and the impressive Dubai skyline.

The journey to the 52nd floor starts with a 45-second interactive elevator trip that depicts the sea and the sky all around you, immersing you in astounding views from the beginning.

Once at The View at the Palm, you’ll enjoy the panoramic, 360-degree views of Palm Jumeirah through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. This is why I added this attraction to my list of the best things to do in Dubai!

Situated 787 feet (240 meters) above the island and facing it directly, its observation deck is the perfect viewpoint to admire an aerial view of Palm Dubai, the city’s most famous man-made island.

Being one of the best observation decks in Dubai, the viewing platform at the Palm Tower also features an outdoor terrace to enjoy unrestricted views of Palm Jumeirah-the Arabian Gulf-and the magnificent Dubai Skyline.

Besides making the most of the observation deck and hitting The View Café for a drink-visitors will have access to The View Exhibition, where they’ll take an immersive journey on the history of Palm Jumeirah and its construction through floor mapping and aquarium tunnels.

The VIP Experience at The View at the Palm grants you access to the VIP Lounge, where you can relax with a coffee or cocktail (fancy a glass of champagne to pair with the sights?) as you take in the views of the palm and spot some iconic landmarks. 

The Next Level, a newly opened area on level 54-is the most elevated point of The View at the Palm-and it’s also Jumeirah’s highest viewpoint at 820 feet (250 meters).

It’s an open-air viewing deck that will allow you to marvel at the scenery without barriers. It can be visited by including it on your ticket upon purchase (it’s not included in the regular entrance tickets!).   

Tips for Your Visit

What’s the best time to visit The View at the Palm?

For spectacular Palm Jumeirah views during sunset, the best time to visit is-indeed-around sunset, from 5 PM to 7 PM approximately. This is the busiest time at the viewpoint, however-as everyone wants to catch the golden Dubai skyline.

If you’d instead enjoy a view of the Palm and its surroundings with no crowds-the best time to visit is in the morning and noon or after sunset. 

How much time do you need for your visit?

30 minutes should be enough to take in the views and snap as many pictures as possible. 

What should you know before visiting The View at the Palm?

▶️ Entry at The View at the Palm is organized by ticket time-so, it’s essential to be punctual or arrive a few minutes before your slot time. 

▶️ The attraction is safe for people of all ages, and children aged 4 or above have free access. 

▶️ The View at the Palm is not accessible for wheelchair users. People using walking aids are advised against visiting because the outdoor stairwell needs to be climbed up and down to access the viewpoint. Wearing high heels/stilettos is not recommended for the same reason.
