Dubai's Famed Cityscape at Burj Khalifa
Dubai's landmark building and major tourist attraction are the Burj Khalifa, which at 829.8 meters is the tallest building in the world and the most famous of the city's points of interest.
For most visitors, a trip to the observation deck on the 124th floor here is a must-do while in the city. The views across the city skyline from this bird's-eye perspective are simply staggering.
The slick observation deck experience includes a multimedia presentation on both Dubai and the building of the Burj Khalifa (completed in 2010) before high-speed elevator whizzes you up to the observation deck for those 360-degree views out across the skyscrapers to the desert on one side and the ocean on the other.
A city of many faces, Dubai is one of the most exquisite destinations for a traveler. Home to Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world, this global city is known for its lavish architecture, incredible skylines, and a plethora of tourist attractions that break records to be the tallest, longest and biggest. Dubai has abundant opportunities when it comes to adventure activities like Desert Safaris through golden Arabian Dunes, Skydiving over the beautiful Palm Islands, Reef and wreck diving, kite surfing, wakeboarding, etc. To add to the list of boundless adventures this Arabian gem holds, the latest World Expo 2020 is hosted here, making it the centerpiece of post-pandemic travel.
Flaunting its glamorous infrastructure amid the glorious Arabian desert, the city of Dubai was once known to be a barren land. Today, this man-made miracle is filled with shimmering skyscrapers, fancy hotels, shopping malls, and restaurants. Burj Khalifa - the tallest manmade building, Dubai Fountain with jets and lights choreographed to music, Atlantis, the Palm, and an aquarium resort are among the top tourist destinations in Dubai. With the biggest population of all the seven emirates and the second-largest in area, Dubai will overwhelm you with its amalgamation of futuristic marvel and ancient Arabian aura.
