The pool will be built 210 metres above ground level at the top of the Palm Tower in the heart of the Palm Jumeirah development.
The 775m2 infinity pool – which will hold 930,000 litres of water – borders all four sides of the building, giving views across Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline.
Above the pool will be a podium housing a 51st level restaurant and a 52nd storey public viewing deck.
The Palm Tower will house a 289-room hotel on the first 18 floors with 432 apartments above, along with dining and leisure facilities. The tower is directly connected to the under-construction Nakheel Mall and its 350 shops, restaurants and attractions. Â
Currently, about 850 construction workers are on site at the Palm Tower and the number will rise to more than 1,500 when internal fit-out gets in full swing in the next few weeks.
