The View at The Palm
The View at The Palm
An observation deck on the 52nd floor of Palm Tower — the only spot from which you can see the entire palm island.
Description
The View at The Palm is an observation deck on the 52nd floor of Palm Tower in the centre of Palm Jumeirah island. It is the only spot from which the palm's shape can be seen in full — the crown of "fronds", the trunk and the surrounding crescent breakwater.
Besides the panorama, the deck has an interactive exhibition about the history of the island's construction. From below, the scale of this engineering project is not apparent, so coming up here is the best way to appreciate it.
Tip: Come closer to sunset, when the water and the palm's quarters are bathed in soft light.
