Why The Pointe still draws crowds in 2026

Opened as a waterfront dining and leisure strip on the east crescent of Palm Jumeirah, The Pointe remains popular with visitors who want open-air tables and views of the Dubai skyline. The promenade stays lively after sunset thanks to the free fountain show over the water, and most venues keep extended hours during cooler months.

Top restaurants with sea views

Seafood lovers head to Pier 7, where fresh catches and grilled platters start from 95 AED. For Italian, Zero Gravity Beach Club serves wood-fired pizzas and pasta from 85 AED with direct beach access. Lebanese favourite Reem Al Bawadi offers mixed grills from 75 AED and generous family platters. If you want casual bites, Pier 7 also houses quick counters for tacos and burgers under 60 AED.

Fountain show schedule and tips

The fountain performances run every 30 minutes from 7 pm until 11 pm on weekdays and until midnight on weekends. Arrive 15 minutes early to secure a front-row standing spot near the central jetty. The shows last eight minutes and feature music plus coloured lights, free for everyone walking the promenade.

Parking and getting there

RTA operates two paid multi-storey car parks at The Pointe. The first three hours cost 20 AED, then 10 AED per additional hour. Valet service at the main entrance runs 30 AED. Visitors coming by taxi should ask the driver to drop them at Palm West Beach entrance for the shortest walk. The nearest Dubai Metro station is DMCC on the Red Line, followed by a 15-minute feeder bus ride.

Family extras and practical notes

Stroller-friendly paths and shaded seating areas make the promenade suitable for families. Public restrooms and prayer rooms sit near the central fountain plaza. Most restaurants accept reservations via their own apps, though walk-ins are usually possible before 7 pm. Alcohol is served only inside licensed venues, and dress code remains smart-casual.
