One of the world’s most impressive infinity pools has been completed.
This infinity pool will offer incredible panoramic city views, located on the 50th floor of the soon-to-open Dubai Palm Tower.
The pool is the lowest part of a three-story attraction called The View of the Palm that will open on the third floor of the Palm Tower. Above the pool is a restaurant on the 51st floor and a public observation deck on the top floor. The observation deck will include an interactive museum that provides information about the skyscraper’s construction.
“The landscape of Palm Island will combine awe-inspiring, breathtaking views with an interactive, educational experience,” Omar Houri, managing director of Nakheel, the building’s developer, told CNN.
Nearly 700 feet above the ground, the pool has had some construction problems. Due to the high altitude, construction crews had to contend with strong winds from the Persian Gulf.
The pool’s structural work has been completed, and the rest of the construction will be completed by the end of the year.
Dubai’s swimming pool will be one of the tallest in the world, although it won’t break the record. The current record holder for the world’s tallest infinity pool is the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Hong Kong. Their infinity pool is located on the 118th floor of the hotel, nearly 1,600 feet from the street.
Although Dubai may seem like just one skyscraper after another, the city’s history dates back to the oil boom of the 1990s. If you’re going on a tour, balance the ultra-modern feel with a visit to Dubai Creek, one of the oldest places in Dubai, or one of the archaeological sites just outside the city.
