Burj Khalifa skyscraper-tower
The height of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper is 828 meters. Take the fastest elevator in the Emirates. Have lunch at the world’s most “elevated” restaurant, “At.mosphere,” located on the 122nd floor of the famous skyscraper. At the mirror-like base, synchronized streams of the “Dubai” fountain dance. The intricate pattern of jets shoots up to the level of a 50-storey building.
Burj Al Arab luxury hotel
Another symbol of the city is the luxury Burj el Arab hotel, resembling the sail of an eastern ship reaching out to the sea. A single night in an indecently lavish room costs 10 000 - 28 000 USD.
Old Bastakia District
In the old Bastakia district, you’ll see wind towers resembling the heads of gigantic guitars. Using these air traps, residents would get cool in the scorching summer days. Near the coral-brick houses, you’ll find Al Fahidi Fort. Under the vaults of this powerful fortress, interactive journeys take you along the streets of the past century. The fort building is home to the Dubai National Museum.
Jumeirah Mosque
Jumeirah Mosque is the only Islamic temple in the city that people of other faiths can visit. Here you can admire intricate calligraphy on golden-toned facades and attend lectures about the spiritual power of prayer.
Palm Islands
Cruises to Dubai are bought also to be amazed by the man-made Palm Islands. Right in the sea, an artificial island has been built in the shape of a date palm, with arching branches made up of separate land sections. The archipelago “The World” looks like a giant world map puzzle. Each tiny island is shaped like its own country.
