Dubai - The Pointe, Nakheel’s AED800 million, 1.4 million sq ft waterfront dining and entertainment destination on Palm Jumeirah, is nearing completion and will open towards the end of 2018, the master developer has announced.

Speaking to media at an exclusive preview event at The Pointe, Ali Rashid Lootah, Chairman of Nakheel, said: “We are moving ever closer to opening one of the most eagerly-awaited destinations in Dubai. The Pointe is an iconic, must-see attraction offering remarkable lifestyle experiences for residents and tourists. Inspired by the heritage and culture of the Emirates, it will be a stunning, vibrant and unique addition to Dubai’s dining, retail and entertainment scene.”

Managed by Nakheel Malls, the retail arm of Nakheel, The Pointe features unique concepts from around the globe with over 100 dining and retail outlets on offer. Its centrepiece will be a spectacular fountain to mesmerise visitors with stunning shows that can be viewed from The Pointe’s wide range of waterfront dining spots.

Located five kilometres out to sea at the tip of the island, across the bay from Atlantis The Palm, The Pointe enjoys cool sea breezes and stunning views. It is also home to a 1.5km promenade – a destination in itself for residents and tourists to unwind at one of Dubai’s most iconic locations, or snap the perfect holiday pictures against a stunning backdrop. There is also a cinema, children’s play area, supermarket, gyms, beauty salons and unique gifting concepts, as well as a car park for 1,600 vehicles.
