Dubai-based Nakheel has revealed a new addition to Dubai’s recreation and leisure scene with “The View” at The Palm, a public observation deck towering 240 meters above the world-famous Palm Jumeirah, Invest-Gate reports.

The observatory, for which a fit-out contract was signed last month, will offer uninterrupted views of The Palm, the Arabian Gulf, and the Dubai skyline, according to a press statement on July 3.

To be operated by Nakheel Mall, The View is perched on the top level at the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower, nestled at the heart of the island. The observation deck, which includes a VIP lounge and areas for private events, is nearing completion., the statement noted.

Managing Director of Nakheel Malls Omar Khoory indicated, “The View at The Palm will combine awe-inspiring, breath-taking views with an interactive, educational experience about the creation of the iconic Palm Jumeirah. This stunning new attraction – the only location in Dubai offering this unique experience – will be a magnet for residents and tourists.”

“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,” he added.

Visitors will also be able to buy tickets online, by phone, or in-person at the Nakheel Mall’s roof plaza, for a day or night experience.

The Palm comprises a St. Regis Hotel alongside several luxury residences, with a rooftop infinity pool and restaurants underneath the viewing deck.  The tower is directly connected to Nakheel Mall, which is due to open this year and has 350 shops, restaurants, attractions, and its own “Palm Monorail” station.
