Reviews from Real Guests:

MOHAMMAD OMAR KOWSIR: In 2018, Dubai became an exclusive attraction richer. The 150-meter-high Dubai Frame tells the story of the origin of the Emirate, but also shows the ultra-modern future. Take the elevator up and enjoy the panoramic view. In the north you see the old area Deira with the Dubai Creek, in the east the Arabian desert, in the south the new Dubai with the Burj Khalifa and in the west the Persian Gulf. The golden frame is of course also the perfect….

Blackispure: I’m proud to say I arranged this trip for my mum. No words can describe the beauty of Burj Khalifa view, even these pictures you see don’t justify it’s an ultimate dream she said, for the very first time she felt you could fly because she found her wings in Burj haha . well, if you visit Dubai and don’t get to the tallest building in the world & fastest elevator in the world ,then you have seen nothing.

Palm Jumeirah Monorail

Ticket Price: 10 AED

Recommended Length of Stay: 10-10 Minutes

Location: 11 King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud St - Al Sufouh - Dubai

Take the scenic cable car to the island and admire the various beautiful residences on Palm Island. Take a look at the endless sea views on both sides on the sightseeing cable car, and take a photo with the Atlantis Hotel at the end point. In addition to boats and helicopters, the most economical way to get to Palm Island is the Palm Island Sightseeing Cable Car. Although it is called a cable car, it is actually an unmanned light rail with only three stops, which can directly reach the Atlantis Hotel on The Palm from downtown Dubai. Business hours The operation time of the sightseeing cable car is from 10:00 to 22:00 every day. Each station stops for 3 minutes for passengers to get on and off. During peak hours, the gap between the two trains is about 9 minutes. During off-peak hours, the interval is 15-20 minutes. Looking at the scenery of the island, buy a good ticket, and get on the sightseeing cable car. On the way, you will first pass a group of residences. You can enjoy the panoramic view of the Royal Mirage Hotel and Dubai Marina coastline in the south, and the sailing hotel and Bihai Hotel group in the north. The cable car will then move towards the trunk of the Palm Island, passing the Golden Mile Hotel and Shore Apartments, to the Trump Tower station. Next, the sightseeing cable car will go to the village center station. During the journey between Trump Tower Station and Village Center Station, the cable car will only make short stops due to signal demands. When the sightseeing cable car leaves the village center station, it will pass Oceana Hotel and TiaraTheMarina Apartment on the left side of the main trunk of Palm Island. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of both sides. Later, when the scenic gondola begins to head towards the Palm Jumeirah villa complex, you can get a close look at the various beautiful residences on the palm leaves. Also, you can see a few palm fronds are bare, there are no buildings on them, and some are just artificial islands that have just been filled. This is because of the lack of funds to follow after the world financial crisis. When the sightseeing cable car approaches the terminal Atlantis Water World Station, the scenery of the Atlantis Hotel on the left and the Water World Water Park on the right will shock your eyes. After getting off the bus for sightseeing on the island, you can come to the crescent-shaped dam and see the endless sea. When you look back, you can see the panoramic view of the Atlantis Hotel. This is also a good place to take pictures with the hotel as the background. After the visit, you can take the sightseeing cable car back.
