5 Exciting Attractions Coming To The UAE

Soon, there will be a way to take your sightseeing in Dubai to new heights at this public observation deck towering 240 metres above Palm Jumeirah, on the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower. The View At The Palm will be the only place in Dubai where you and your family can enjoy amazing views of Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline - all at once.

Your journey to the top will start at the roof plaza of Nakheel Mall where you can check out an interactive and edu-taining museum and gallery dedicated to the making of Palm Jumeirah. You then step into an elevator, complete with a floor-to-ceiling digital sea, sand and sky experience, which will take you and your littles on a 3-minute ascent to the observatory at the top of The Palm Tower. Once you're at the top, you and your family can marvel at the island beneath and enjoy gorgeous 360-degree views of Dubai.

Plus, there is even more fantastic news for the thrill-seekers among us as The View At The Palm is set to launch the longest zip line ride in Dubai which will give you the opportunity to fly over Palm Jumeirah and experience views like no other.
