Fairmont The Palm, at the Palm Jumeirah — the glitzy tree-shaped island renowned for luxury apartment towers and hotels — looked like a war zone on Saturday, video and images circulating on social media showed.

The massive hotel was engulfed in flames after UAE forces intercepted an Iranian air attack, according to reports.

Debris from the intercepted attack, initially believed to be a missile, were believed to have crashed down near the front of The Palm, setting the facade of the building on fire, photos showed.

Officials have not revealed whether anyone was hurt or killed at the luxury hotel.

The strikes also sparked concerns that the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, may have also been struck.

The UAE military boasted of intercepting three waves of ballistic missiles from Tehran.

Debris from one of the waves intercepted by the UAE Air Defense system fell on several areas in Abu Dhabi, the country’s Ministry of Defense announced on X.

One person was killed in the failed strikes.

A “worker of Asian nationality” was killed in one of the strikes in residential areas of Abu Dhabi, according to the Ministry of Defense.

The UAE stated it “reserves the right to respond” to the Iranian strikes, The Jerusalem Post reported.
