UAE master developer Nakheel is adding another stunning, landmark attraction to Dubai’s recreation and leisure scene with The View at The Palm, a public observation deck towering 240 m above the world-famous Palm Jumeirah.

Accessible from Nakheel Mall, the observatory will offer spectacular, uninterrupted views of The Palm, the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline, and reveal the story behind the making of the island that put Dubai on the global map, says Nakheel. 

Nakheel Mall boasts 350 shops, restaurants and attractions and its own Palm monorail station.

The View at The Palm, for which a fit-out contract was signed in June, is perched on the top level – 52nd floor – of The Palm Tower, at the heart of the island. It will be operated by Nakheel Malls. The observation deck, which includes a VIP lounge and areas for private events, is nearing completion.

According to Nakheel Malls’ managing director Omar Khoory, visitors to The View will start their journey at the roof plaza of Nakheel Mall, where they will find an interactive museum and gallery dedicated to the creation of Palm Jumeirah. From there, an elevator, complete with a floor-to-ceiling digital sea, sand and sky experience, will take them on the three-minute ascent to the observatory at the top of The Palm Tower, where they can marvel at the island beneath them, and enjoy 360-degree views of Dubai. 

The Palm Tower, a stunning new landmark for Dubai, comprises a St Regis hotel and luxury residences, with a rooftop infinity pool and restaurant underneath the viewing deck.

The tower is directly connected to Nakheel Mall, which is due to open this year, it adds.
