Dubai is not just a city of tall skyscrapers and glittering buildings; there are also some hidden places around it from where you can get to see beautiful views of the city and mountains. If you are fond of seeing Dubai from a height, then add these five places to your travel list. They will show you a new world. Let’s do a brief introduction of these places first, friends, and then talk about each place in detail.
Jebel Jais Mountain (Ras Al Khaimah)
Jabel Jais, located in Ras Al Khaimah, a little away from Dubai, is the highest mountain in the UAE. Being the highest peak in the country, one can see panoramic views of mountains and valleys far and wide from here. As you climb its high paths, new views open up at every turn. It is a truly exciting experience amidst the cool breeze in the Smoky Mountains! Imagine: as you watch the sunrise at the top of Jabel Jais, the golden rays of the sun in the sky and the beautiful fabric of the mountains spread below mesmerize you. So, if you want a combination of nature and heights, then this view of Jabel Jais will prove to be the best for you. The “Jais Viewing Deck Park” is also very famous there, where you can sit comfortably and enjoy 360-degree landscapes.
Hatta 360 Observation Tower (Hatta)
Hatta is a green area located in the mountainous regions of Dubai, where the Hatta 360 Observatory Tower is a hidden treasure. It looks like an ancient fort that was built in 1880 and was used to keep an eye on enemies. Now climbing here is a different thrill – as soon as you reach the top, you will see barren plateaus, farms, and remote villages spread all around. To be honest, you feel like standing here and raising your head and touching the sky! The atmosphere is calm and surrounded by forests, so you will feel close to nature. If you visit here during sunset, you will never forget the view of the sun glowing from a height. At Hatta 360, you can entertain your heart along with your eyes. It will be a very relaxing, exciting, and unique experience.
The View at the Palm (Palm Tower View Point)
The observation platform of the Palm Tower, located on the Palm Jumeirah Island of Dubai, is also like a hidden diamond. From ‘The View at the Palm,’ located on the 52nd floor, you can see the entire structure of the Palm Island and the panoramic view of the city from a height of 240 meters. From here, you can see the tall buildings of Dubai, the Arabian Sea, and the Golf Club together. Imagine you are gazing at the unique geometry of the lakes and shores of Palm Island while drinking tea from a cafe there. It is truly a beautiful view, like a picture! The viewing deck also has an aquarium and small shops where you can have a drink.
Like other high-rise buildings in Dubai, this place also takes on a new beauty in the evening as the dark night sets in, the city lights come on, and the sea is lit up with rows of lights shining like white silk. If you are a photo enthusiast, this place is a paradise for you.
Sky Views Observatory (Address Sky View Hotel)
The Sky Views Observatory is a new attraction at the Address Sky View Hotel, near the Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai. It is located on the 52nd-53rd floor of the hotel and is 219 meters above the ground. Here you can walk on the strong glass roof and see the city spinning below your feet. If you have the courage, you can take a stroll down the glass slide, and going down the slide will fill your heart with warmth, but the view is so amazing that even fear will go away. This is a completely unique experience: you will feel swaying in the midst of the shining city, as if you are actually floating in the clouds. Also, the modern design and open atmosphere of the Sky Views Observatory make you feel as if you are actually touching the sky. From there, the Burj Khalifa, the waterfront, and the city of Dubai spread all around, keeping moving in front of your eyes like a bright film – this view fills the heart with joy.
Ain Dubai (the world’s tallest Ferris wheel)
Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest observation wheel, is a great experience to see Dubai in a completely new way. From the height of this huge wheel, about 250 meters above sea level, the skyline of the entire Dubai is seen spreading in 360 degrees. As soon as you sit in the capsule, a wide view of the city with its melodious lights revolves around you. From the top, Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and the blue Arabian Sea-everything comes before the eyes.
This experience is just like a dream; the height gives a thrill to the heart and also peace to the heart that we are in such a big city. This wheel becomes even more special in the evening, when the sky is colorful at sunset and the whole city seems to be bathed in golden rays. Friends, if you take a glimpse of Dubai from the cabin of Ain Dubai, then you will feel that there is only glitter and glamour all around. You will really feel yourself in the clouds after seeing the city from such a height. You can’t talk about Sky Views Dubai without bringing up the famous Palm and Burj Khalifa. This skyscraper breaks records at 828 meters tall and has observation decks on floors 124, 125, and 148.
Each location will show you a new side of Dubai-be it the tranquility of the mountains or the vibrancy of the city. Include these five hidden destinations in your adventure and see for yourself how much adventure and beauty is hidden in the heights of Dubai.
