Burj Khalifa

One of the most recognizable buildings in the world, the Burj Khalifa rises to a staggering height of 829.8 meters (2,722 feet). The towering edifice appears to pierce the sky itself, a glimmering vision of contemporary design that soars high above the rest of the city. Completed in 2010, the skyscraper broke records to become the world's tallest freestanding structure, beating landmark buildings such as the Petronas Towers and CN Tower. Its outdoor Observation Deck is set on the 124th floor and offers breathtaking views of the city, surpassed only by the Sky Deck on the 148th floor. The extravagant interiors only add to the building's appeal with the Armani Hotel on its lower levels and the At.mosphere restaurant on the 122nd floor. Apart from the structure itself, nearby landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa Park and The Dubai Fountain also form part of this downtown complex. The Burj Khalifa is synonymous with the city, as is evidenced by the myriad replicas of its iconic form fitted into souvenir stands and depicted on postcards.

The Dubai Fountain

Designed by the US-based WET Designs, who are also known for designing the iconic Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas, the Dubai Fountain is spread across a sprawling 12.14-hectare (30 acres) area on the Burj Khalifa Lake. Considered to be one of the greatest choreographed fountains in the world, this marvelous structure features projectors equipped to present over 20 colors and more than 6,500 lights. Shooting jets of water to about 500 feet (152.4 meters) up in the sky, the musical fountain boasts of scintillating shows throughout the day. But as the sun sets, a fantastic vibe envelops the place - that's when a plethora of vibrant lights are turned on, bathing the entire area in a surreal glow. It is said that the fountain's upward-beaming light shines so bright that it can be seen from space. Whether or not it is visible from space, the lovely Dubai Fountain can definitely transport those gazing upon it to another world, owing to its magical illuminations, choreography, and music!

Global Village

Global Village is a hub of entertainment, dining and shopping. The sprawling entertainment complex features individual pavilions pertaining to countries from all around the world, each a unique architectural and cultural representation that retails specialty wares from that region. The park hosts a number of special events like concerts and kids' theater shows, and offers leisure activities as well, like the Heritage Village, accompanied by attractions like thrill rides which cater to the entire family. Rediscover old-school entertainment with adventure rides and roller-coasters. It is a great place for a group or family outing.

Jumeirah Mosque

One of the largest sacred structures in Dubai, the Jumeirah Mosque is a dominant city landmark. Built in the medieval Fatimid tradition, this mosque is one of the most spectacular architectural wonders of the city. Towering minarets flank the engraved dome, and the fascinating mosque is aglow with golden lights during evenings. While strolling through the mosque at sunset, tourists will be shrouded in shadows by this elegant edifice. A favorite destination for Muslim as well as non-Muslim visitors, it is the city's most frequently photographed mosque. Tours are available, however, apart from the admission charge, traditional attire is a pre-requisite to gain entry at Jumeirah Mosque which can be borrowed from the visitor center.

Dubai Marina

A district and an artificial harbor landing, the Dubai Marina is considered to be one of the largest of its kind in the world. Founded in 2003, this marina extends for 3 kilometers (2 miles) across the city's shoreline. Lying at the base of the Palm Jumeirah, this section is nestled between the Jebel Ali area and the industrial Al Quoz district. The Jumeirah Beach Residence and luxurious hotels like The Address, Grosvenor House, Dubai Marriott Harbor Hotel & Suites, and the Habtoor Grand Resort & Spa are located here. The Dubai Marina Mall is a paradise for shoppers who wish to enjoy luxurious retail therapy. The marina's proximity to the sea has often invited marine wildlife like sharks and whales to its premises. Other projects which are ensconced within the Marina include the Marina Promenade, Al Majara, and the Park Island to name a few. Al Sahab and the Marina Quays are attractions which grab the attention of tourists and locals alike.

Palm Jumeirah

The Palm Jumeirah is so amazing and unique it can be defined as Dubai's emblem. A beautiful Island that is connected to Dubai's mainland by thin strips of road, it is man made, which adds to its uniqueness. The island was created using reclaimed land and has been crafted in the shape of a palm tree, hence the name. The land consists of 16 leaf-like pathways, denoted by an alphabet, with a dome surrounding it. Construction work commenced in 2001 and went on for 5 years. Finally towards the end of 2006, this marvelous landmark was opened for commercial activities and tourism. A trip to the city is incomplete without a visit to Palm Jumeirah.
