Dubai: From Wednesday, you can head to the top to get a vantage view of the Palm.

The Dubai island will open its highest point – The View on the Palm – and at a height of 240 metres. It will join the other high points dotting Dubai – the one at the Burj Khalifa (555 metres), The Frame (150 metres) and, later this year, the Ain Dubai (250 metres).

The View is part of the Palm Tower, which will open with all its components in October. With direct access from Nakheel Mall, Level Two of The Palm Tower will mark the entry point for visitors which houses a Starbucks Café, The View Exhibition, aquarium tunnels… and a gift shop.

“The ‘Aura Skypool’ and accompanying F&B options on the 50th will be operated by Sunset Hospitality, and which creates another visitor attraction on the Palm. “Until tourism comes back to full strength, we will be looking at visitors to Nakheel Mall, Palm residents and from the UAE itself,” said Sangster.

“These days, all of us are tourists at home. We will also be working to get visits from educational institutions – there is so much to learn on the Palm.”

Currently, the Nakheel Mall averages around 24,000 visitors a day.
