Dubai recently opened the world’s first and highest 360-degree infinity pool, which was built by Sunset Hospitality Group (SHG). The pool is located on the 52-floor Palm Tower, which is owned by the land and property company Nakheel. The 200-meter AURA Skypool holds a 750-square-meter pool deck on the 50th floor of the Palm Tower. It also has a VIP area and a bar. Guests may also book either a morning or sunset session to the place. The entrance fee starts at 170 AED (around ¥5,212) for morning visits, which increases to 600 AED (around ¥18,468) for a VIP pass to the entire AURA for one whole day. “AURA is truly unlike any other destination in the UAE and the world,” SHG CEO Antonio Gonzalez said in a statement last October. The AURA Skypool was opened months after the 240-meter-high observation deck called The View, which is on the 52nd floor of the tower.
