During our day of driving around Dubai, our guide took us the the Palace for a short visit. Not too crowded. In addition to seeing the palace at a distance, the site offered nice views of other landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa and the Frame.

I didn't expect much when our tour bus arrived because we couldn't go in the palace to see how it is. Since we got dropped off there, we might as well just take a look.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. They placed two vehicles as a border line. The one closer to the palace had a guard on duty inside. If visitors wander past the second vehicle, the guard would talk to you and stop you. Although we can't see the palace close up, but we still can see a bit. Happy travelling!

Visited the palace used by the Dubai ruler as part of half day city tour. You can only move upto a point and can't get close to the palace beyond a point. The area is very clean with greenery. The tour was organised by Royal Arabian Tour Destination and the tour guide was very informative. The trip lasted for 30 mins and is sufficient for covering this tourist attraction.

It is worth taking a look at this pristine palace. You can’t go in but there is parking and you can stroll up the drive way towards the impressive entrance gates which are topped by horse statues.
There are normally plenty of peacocks wandering around and an impressive police vehicle on display - it was a police G Wagon on the day I visited.

Join the row of vehichles driving as close to the entrance as they can get before being turned away. You'll get an ever so brief glimpse of what life for the royal family might be like.

We went here as part of a tour and it is a beautiful oasis set in amazingly well kept grounds. The palace was able to be seen, but it is very well guarded as we found when one of our party walked past a line (figuratively speaking) and was then spoken to by an armed police officer. It was all very cordial and another story from the city! But very nice and well worth the visit if you have the opportunity.

I plan to take a taxi from Jumeirah Mosque to Zabeel Palace. I really don't want to pay for the driver to wait while I look around. Will I be able to find a taxi to take me to my next destination?
