It is a beautiful place to visit. You are not allowed near the palace but you can get a magnificent view of the palace and iconic sites from there.It is green and with open space.As it has lots of trees around you can view variety of birds. If you would like to see some peacocks taking stroll around best time to visit is from 4 AM - 7 AM or 3.30 PM - 6.30 PM.Visitors parking available.It is open throughout the day.

This is the palace where the rule of Dubai resides. This was part of our city tour where they allow you to visit until a point outside the palace. There is no entry to the palace. The palace is a good attraction and is maintained very clean. The place is very serene with garden and greenery around.

A nice tourist place, the main attraction of this place are the peacocks. Try visiting at least 2 hours before sunset so that you can enjoy the place. Entry isnt allowed inside the palace

Wonderful place to visit. Main attraction is peacocks. They are moving freely so anybody can feed them and we can see them very closely.

Place is nice.. the view is also good.. the gift which is given by the queen of London was also very nice.. just one suggestion there should be entry inside place for few hours in a day.. not full place entry only few parts.. so that tourist should also understand the royal life of kings..

Zabeel Palace was included in our Half Day City Tour of Dubai when we visited Dubai in Feb. 2019. In fact, the lady who was our escort and guide in this City Tour had started the tour with Zabeel Palace only. She gave us just 15-20 minutes to walk around, enjoy the exquisite scenery, the peacocks, manicured gardens and get back into the car so that the tour may continue.Under the circumstances, whatever I have learnt about this palace is through google searches only which I need not reproduce here. Just enclosing some pics to give you a preview of what you may expect there. I feel however, that it would be great if you can see this place in twilight just before / after sunset.

You are free to walk and click pics in the main entrance garden. You can see lot of tourists visiting this place. However I couldnt find toilets or seating areas. The attraction is you can see a lot f peacocks and peahens, kids will definitely love running behind them.

Zabeels Palace is one of the main attraction in Dubai City Tour. As it is a Royal Palace, it is only open to a certain point for tourists. This place has big gardens around and very well maintained.

One word... stunning. Being new to Dubai, Ive never seen anything like it. I deeply would love to be invited to go inside for a grand tour. OMg, just the thought of it makes me smile.

Review №38

If your visiting Dubai you have to visit the palace. They release the peacocks at around 4 to 4:30 pm and you can walk around the garden area and take pictures and feed the peacocks.If you are lucky and visit at the right time of the year you can get to see the peacocks spread their colorful feathers ( end of March - April )The tail feathers vibrate at their natural resonating frequencyIt is really beautiful

I cannot say anything about the Palace as we were not allowed to enter the palace but only can see the Palace from outside approximately 100 meters away from the gate.Outside area was good as i visited during the day time, and i can see the lamps installed in the floors, from this i can imagine that its may look amazing during night time.If you want to see this from outside then you can visit this place.

Hmm! Where do I start. I didnt go inside this palace. Not yet! But it certainly looks very nice from the outside. I can only talk here about the open area for the public. Its certainly amazing and attractive. The landscape is done by top professionals, Im guessing.The plane is always busy with tourists and visitors. No food or chairs. Its designed for you to walk around, enjoy the moment and leave within 20 min tops. Well designed to keep the crowds down.One observation I had is the number of peacocks roaming freely around making their distinctive call. Youre not allowed to catch them or bother them. Theyre really nice to watch.Enjoy!

At a distance of 6 km from Dubai Frame and 14 km from Dubai Airport, Zabeel Palace is a majestic palace situated in the Zabeel area of Dubai. It is one of the popular Dubai Landmarks and among the must-visit places in Dubai.Zabeel Palace is the home of Sheikh Rashid, UAEs former prime minister. It is constructed in the Zabeel area, which was formerly just bare land covered with sand. Today, it is surrounded by all the glitzy buildings that make up the skyline of Dubai. Another Zabeel Palace has also cropped up in the vicinity, but it is the old palace that is full of charms. This palace was constructed sometime in the 1960s and was used as a residence till the 90s. The Arabic word Zabeel stands for Thanks.The design of this palace is the idea of Otto Bulart who also designed the Clock Tower in Dubai. It is one of the most secured palaces in the world, which is protected by sophisticated electronic devices. The palace is surrounded by well-maintained lush gardens. From the garden, we had a nice view of the Dubai Frame tower.The garden has tight security. One can only move up to a point and cant get close to the palace beyond a point. One can opt for a 30 minutes guided tour that can be very informative.

Review №53

Beautiful lush green lawns and blue skyline with a view of the entire Dubai and these lovely palaces on either side. They have 2 police cars parked here and they dont let you go past the 2nd oneYou may endlessly pose in the beautiful green area , luxurious police vans , palace and then leave as thats all you to do here. Off course since its the palace of the king so one time visit is just fine....and time not beyond half an hour. Pose and move... Kids may keep running around as this place is pretty huge. And could see the lights on the floor so probably this view might get even better in the night.But for pictures visiting in day hours is recommended. Also its really hot and sunny so sunscreen and sun glasses are a must to carry.

You cant go too near the actual palace but hey, its one of those rare things you can do for free in Dubai. We were lucky to arrive during feeding time and its quite a sight to see peacocks competing with hordes of seagulls for breadcrumbs. The garden itself is extremely well maintained and it really shows what a miracle city Dubai is

Review №75

It is one of the attractions you can add to your list when visiting Dubai even though it is restricted to the outer part of the main entrance of the Palace. At the beginning every one thought there will be a tour of the inside and have a glimpse of the Royality but yes for security reasons. If possible reach before sunset to enjoy both scenes with natural sunlight and under the amazing lighting system.
