The Palm Jumeirah

The Palm Jumeirah is one of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, famous for its palm-shaped archipelago, luxury resorts and sweeping coastal views. With The View at The Palm Observatory Deck, visitors can enjoy a spectacular 360° panorama of the island, Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline from above. It’s one of the city’s most unforgettable experiences, offering architecture, engineering marvels and world-class scenery in one place.
This venue is also included in select MegaPass city passes, making it easy to combine with other top attractions during your trip.

Constructed in the early 2000s, The Palm Jumeirah is a groundbreaking engineering project and one of the world’s largest man-made islands. Developed by Nakheel, it transformed Dubai’s coastline with its unique palm-tree design—featuring a trunk, crescent breakwater and 16 fronds. Today, it’s home to luxury hotels, beachfront residences and major attractions, symbolizing Dubai’s ambition and innovation.

Visitors explore The Palm Jumeirah for its iconic design, pristine beaches, upscale dining and incredible aerial viewpoints. The View at The Palm offers unmatched scenery from 240 meters above sea level, making it ideal for photography lovers and those wanting to see Dubai from a new perspective. Whether relaxing at beach clubs or enjoying waterfront promenades, the island offers a truly unique Dubai experience.

Depending on the ticket type, visitors may enjoy general admission or upgraded options such as VIP lounges or immersive exhibitions. Time slots are required to manage visitor flow, especially during sunset or peak hours.

Ticket prices vary based on the selected time slot, with sunset hours generally being the most popular and higher priced. Options may include standard entry, fast-track entry or premium experiences. Special rates for children or residents may apply. Prices can change seasonally or during major events.

Visitors can reach The Palm Jumeirah via the Palm Monorail, which connects from the Gateway Station to Nakheel Mall—directly below The View. Taxis, rideshares and buses also service the island.

Winter is one of the best seasons to visit, offering cooler temperatures and crystal-clear visibility from the observatory deck. Outdoor terraces and beaches are more comfortable, making winter perfect for combined activities. Sunset times shift earlier in winter—slots sell out quickly, so early booking is recommended.
