The View Palm Jumeirah, Dubai's new observation deck

The View at The Palm is a stunning new public observation deck towering 240 metres above Palm Jumeirah, on the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower. The attraction is the only location in Dubai offering the unique experience of spectacular views of Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline, along with an interactive experience about the making of Palm Jumeirah.

Visitors to The View will start their journey at the roof plaza of Nakheel Mall. 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.

Omar Khoory, chief assets and hospitality officer, Nakheel said: “Twenty years ago, Nakheel embarked on a journey to bring the vision of Palm Jumeirah to life and today, we celebrate its growing success story by launching the View at the Palm.

“As well as a world attraction, the View will uncover the evolutionary journey behind building one of the most splendid man-made islands in the world.

“As Nakheel continues to add innovative destinations to its ever-growing retail portfolio, we hope that these experiences will inspire wonder to visitors of all ages and backgrounds.

“We are delighted to welcome residents to experience Palm Jumeirah in a completely new way and we are confident that it will be memorable.”

The View at The Palm also offers an exclusive VIP lounge which spans 120 square metres and features an outdoor terrace with views of the island, sea and city.

With its design, the lounge is customisable to match various themes and concepts and offers meal services, advanced audio-visual equipment and wireless connectivity.

The VIP lounge is open for public bookings.

Issam Kazim, chief executive of Dubai Corporation for Tourism & Commerce Marketing (Dubai Tourism), added: “The View at The Palm marks another major milestone for Dubai’s tourism industry and adds to the city’s range of diverse offerings that residents and visitors can enjoy.

“The opening of the observation deck under stringent precautionary measures will further enhance the safe environment that Dubai has created in line with the directive of our visionary leadership to ensure that the health and safety of people remains the top priority.
