The Viewing Point at Dubai Creek Harbour: What Is Published
The Viewing Point is a public observation structure on the Dubai Creek Harbour waterfront. Emaar, the developer of Dubai Creek Harbour, describes it in its own area guide as "extending 70 metres over the creek" and as being suspended over the water — that is a 70-metre projection out over the creek, not a 70-metre-tall structure. Emaar lists it among Dubai Creek Harbour's key attractions and says it "offers breathtaking cityscapes".
No admission fee is published for The Viewing Point. Visit Dubai's page for the attraction carries no price, no opening hours and no street address, and we found no operator page that states an admission charge or states that entry is free — so we do not claim either. It is a separate location from Downtown Dubai and Souk Al Bahar — reach it via Dubai Creek Harbour's waterfront, not the Burj Khalifa / Dubai Fountain area.

| Official website | visitdubai.com/en/places-to-visit/the-viewing-point |
| Opening hours | No opening hours are published for The Viewing Point. Visit Dubai's page for the attraction lists no hours, and Emaar's own Dubai Creek Harbour guide does not give hours or an admission price for it either. Because no operator publishes a schedule, we do not state one here; treat access times as unconfirmed and allow for the possibility that the structure is closed for maintenance or events when you arrive. |
| Admission | No admission price is published. Visit Dubai's page for The Viewing Point states no fee, and Emaar's Dubai Creek Harbour guide does not mention admission. We could not confirm from any operator source that entry is free, so this guide makes no claim either way — check on site or with Emaar before planning around a cost. |
| Structure | Emaar's own Dubai Creek Harbour guide describes The Viewing Point as "extending 70 metres over the creek" and as suspended over the water. The 70 metres is how far it projects out over the creek, not a height. Emaar does not publish a height figure. |
| View | Emaar says The Viewing Point "offers breathtaking cityscapes" and describes panoramic views of the waterfront and the city beyond. Visit Dubai's page describes "panoramic views of Dubai Creek" and invites visitors to "take in the magic of Dubai Creek like never before". Neither source names individual buildings visible from the deck. |
| Setting | Emaar lists The Viewing Point among the key attractions of Dubai Creek Harbour, its waterfront master development in Ras Al Khor, alongside the district's promenade and waterfront leisure areas. |
| Location note | This is a separate attraction at Dubai Creek Harbour, distinct from Downtown Dubai's Burj Khalifa / Dubai Fountain area and Souk Al Bahar |
| What is not published | Opening hours, admission price, a street address, a phone number and a height figure are all absent from both Visit Dubai's page and Emaar's Dubai Creek Harbour guide. There is no dedicated operator website for the attraction. Anything you read stating a fixed price or fixed hours for The Viewing Point does not come from the operator. |

The Viewing Point — frequently asked questions
Is The Viewing Point free?
No admission price is published for The Viewing Point, and we could not confirm from any operator source that entry is free. Visit Dubai's page for the attraction lists no fee, and Emaar's Dubai Creek Harbour guide does not mention admission at all. Because neither operator states a price and neither states that entry is free, this guide makes no claim either way — check on arrival.
Where is The Viewing Point?
It is at Dubai Creek Harbour in Ras Al Khor, on the waterfront, where Emaar describes it as suspended over the creek. No street address is published for it. It is a different location from Downtown Dubai's Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain area, and is not within walking distance of Souk Al Bahar.
How big is The Viewing Point?
Emaar's own Dubai Creek Harbour guide says The Viewing Point extends 70 metres over the creek. That figure is how far the structure projects out over the water, not how tall it is — Emaar publishes no height for it.
What can you see from The Viewing Point?
Emaar says it "offers breathtaking cityscapes", with panoramic views of the waterfront and the city beyond. Visit Dubai describes panoramic views of Dubai Creek. Neither the developer nor Visit Dubai names specific buildings visible from the structure, so this guide does not list any.
What are The Viewing Point's opening hours?
No opening hours are published. Visit Dubai's page for the attraction lists none, and Emaar's Dubai Creek Harbour guide does not give hours either. There is no dedicated operator website that publishes a schedule, so access times cannot be confirmed in advance.
Where can I read reviews of The Viewing Point?
Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
