The Pointe at Palm Jumeirah, Nakheel Malls’ new, AED800 million dining and entertainment destination, is gearing up for New Year’s Eve and Dubai’s peak travel season after a successful grand opening, attended by more than 10,000 people.

The world-class, waterfront venue – home to 70 restaurants, shops and other attractions – took Dubai by storm last weekend when international music superstar Enrique Iglesias performed live on a purpose-built stage on the water to celebrate its opening.

Now, The Pointe is counting down to its 2019 celebrations, which include a host of dining and entertainment options – and Dubai’s best view of Atlantis, The Palm’s famous New Year fireworks display. There will also be a live DJ, roaming entertainment and prizes to be won. Guests are advised to book early to secure their spot.

Set against a stunning backdrop overlooking turquoise blue waters, The Pointe spans over 1.4 million square feet, and is set to become Dubai’s new hub for seafront dining, shopping, socialising and relaxation, with a mix of food, entertainment and lifestyle offerings, the first of which are now open, with the rest opening soon.

The destination is also home to a 1.5km promenade, Guy Fieri’s dine-in cinema by Reel Cinemas, a children’s play area, supermarket, gyms, beauty salons and unique gifting concepts, as well as a car park for 1,600 vehicles. The Pointe will also feature a spectacular dancing fountain offering stunning, daily shows.

Omar Khoory, Managing Director of Nakheel Malls, said: “We are delighted to launch this new gem at Palm Jumeirah that will mesmerise guests the moment they arrive. Dubai is a cultural melting pot – and our collection of restaurants and entertainment at The Pointe truly reflects this. We are welcoming more and more guests each day and are busy counting down to New Year’s Eve, for which The Pointe is the destination to be.”

With its waterfront restaurants and shops, The Pointe is offering something for everyone, including new concepts, gourmet restaurants, casual dining spots and much-loved fast-food outlets this New Year’s Eve.
