Almanzar is designed to offer wide views of the Al Wathba Wetlands. It stands at a height of 12 meters and includes a spacious 400 square meter lookout area. The design emphasizes accessibility, allowing visitors to fully engage with the landscape. By connecting people to nature, it fosters a special relationship between the built space and the environment.

Materials and Structure

The structure is primarily made of steel. This choice provides the necessary support while allowing for an open design that enhances visibility. Steel framing is used in combination with aluminum decking for both the ramp and viewing deck. These materials are durable and contribute to a clean, modern look that fits well within the natural surroundings.

Accessibility Features

A significant feature of the design is the attention to accessibility. The ramp is at a gentle 5-degree slope, which makes it easy for everyone to reach the lookout. This consideration supports a wide range of visitors, ensuring that all can enjoy the views and engage with the wetlands. The design promotes comfort and ease, allowing people to take in the landscape while moving up or down.

Interaction with Nature

The layout encourages visitors to connect with the wetlands. By elevating the lookout area, Almanzar draws people in and invites them to explore the rich environment. The structure serves not just as a viewpoint but as a space to pause and reflect on the surroundings. Visitors can appreciate the various elements of nature, adding depth to their experience.

The ramp flows gracefully towards the lookout, bringing guests into a space where the views of the wetlands unfold before them, highlighting the beauty of the diverse ecosystem below.
