Looking for the best views of Dubai that do not require a helicopter ride or skydiving out of a plane? These hidden gems offer some of the best views of Dubai for free.
View of the Burj Al Arab
The iconic Burj Al Arab epitomizes Dubai. For a clear view of the Burj, head to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, the wave shaped structure itself is an icon of Dubai. From the lobby of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, hop into the last elevator on the far right and ride it to the top floor. This particular elevator is a glass elevator (think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and presents a majestic view of the Burj.
View of the Palm Jumeirah
The best view of the Palm Jumeirah island is from the sky. But the next best thing is to look out of a tall building! The Dubai Marriott Harbour Hotel in Dubai Marina offers a sideways vista of the Palm island from the 52nd floor at The Observatory, a restaurant and lounge. The lounge is open daily from noon.
