Rise 240 metres above the Palm Jumeirah for a 360° look at Dubai’s engineered coastline, iconic hotels and distant skyline. This 30-minute observation deck visit pairs an open-air terrace with enclosed viewing and is accessible via Nakheel Mall and the Palm Monorail.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step onto the outdoor terrace and Dubai rearranges itself beneath you—an engineered palm of islands, a braided coastline, and a skyline that stretches and contracts with the light. At 240 metres on level 52 of The Palm Tower, the Observation Deck slices through the air; a movable glass partition lets the breeze and the city trade places between enclosed viewing and a wind-swept terrace.
