Palm Jumeirah Observation Deck: The View at The Palm 360 Tour

The Experience
Before You Go
Book sunset for softer light
Arrive 60–90 minutes before sunset to avoid peak crowds and capture the best golden-hour views.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Temperatures climb fast; bottled water is provided but a refillable bottle saves plastic and keeps you hydrated.
Secure belongings during terrace wind
The outdoor terrace is exposed — use straps for cameras and keep hats stowed.
Allow time for security checks
Plan extra time for entrance lines and ID checks, especially during weekends and holidays.

Conservation Note
Reclamation altered local marine habitats; operators advise staying on marked paths, avoiding litter, and not disturbing shorebirds or marine life to reduce impact.
Palm Jumeirah was constructed in the early 2000s by reclamation projects led by Nakheel during Dubai’s rapid urban expansion, transforming shallow coastal seabed into a man-made archipelago of residential and resort islands.
