Places of interest

The spectacular Burj Khalifa, at 828 metres, is the tallest building in the world and offers breathtaking views over Dubai's skyline, the desert, and the Persian Gulf from its observation deck – particularly impressive at sunset or at night when the city sparkles.

Right next to it is the colossal Dubai Mall, one of the largest shopping centres in the world. Besides hundreds of shops, it also offers a vast aquarium, an indoor ice rink and a wide range of entertainment – shopping and an experience world all in one.

By contrast to the modern metropolis, the historic Al Fahidi district offers narrow lanes, traditional wind towers, small galleries and museums that provide an insight into old Dubai – a place for discovery and lingering away from the hustle and bustle.

Desert safaris around Dubai offer a special experience: bumpy rides in off-road vehicles through the dunes, sandboarding, camel riding, and a traditional Bedouin camp under the starry sky make these tours an unforgettable adventure amidst the endless desert landscape.
