Dubai's Palm Jumeirah gets its highest point - The View at 240m up opens April 7

The View forms part of Palm Tower and connected to Nakheel Mall

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

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.

Set the rates

The base ticket rate is Dh100 and Dh69 for children. A fast-track access to the top costs Dh175 and a VIP, with all the bells and whistles added, will be Dh350 a person, according to Gail Sangster, Assets Director at Nakheel Malls. Nakheel is the developer of the Palm Tower.

“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.
