The View at The Palm Jumeirah: 240m Observation Deck & Transfers
Ride a striking elevator to level 52 of Palm Tower for uninterrupted views of the Palm Jumeirah, Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline. This 30-minute visit — with transfer and interactive exhibits — is an efficient, high-altitude way to read the city’s architecture and ambition.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive via Nakheel Mall
The attraction is accessed from Nakheel Mall; allow time to navigate mall traffic and security checkpoints before your booked slot.
Time for sunset
Book the slot 45–60 minutes before sunset to see daytime detail and the city light up without rushing through exhibits.
Bring a camera with zoom
The observation deck offers sweeping vistas—telephoto or a good zoom helps frame distant skyline features and the Atlantis crescent.
Expect air-conditioning
Indoor galleries and the deck are climate-controlled; a light layer is useful, especially in cooler months or for children.

Conservation Note
The Palm altered coastal dynamics and local marine habitats; visitors can help by following site rules, avoiding litter, and supporting operators who minimize light and noise pollution.
Palm Jumeirah is a human-made island developed by Nakheel starting in the early 2000s, created from dredged sand in a distinctive palm-tree design.
