Shop the Dubai Mall

The palm-shaped artificial island, seen best from The View at the Palm observation deck or a monorail ride down the trunk.

Experience world's tallest building and Dubai's observation deck

The world’s largest choreographed fountain fires 150 metres into the air below the Burj Khalifa every half hour after dark.

Man-made island of marinas, Mediterranean-style piazzas and luxury shops on reclaimed pearl-diving grounds.

Visit Dubai, a futuristic city in the United Arab Emirates. Ascend the Burj Khalifa (world's tallest building at 828m with observation decks on the 124th and 148th floors), shop at the Dubai Mall (one of the largest malls globally with an aquarium and ice rink), experience desert safaris in the Arabian Desert (dune bashing, camel rides, and traditional Bedouin camps), and admire the Palm Jumeirah (artificial archipelago shaped like a palm tree with luxury hotels).

Dune-bashing in a 4x4, sandboarding, camel rides and a Bedouin-style dinner with falconry as the sun sets over the sand.

Wind-tower houses, the Dubai Museum and an abra boat across the Creek to the gold and spice souks — Dubai before the towers.

Cruise on the outside of the Burj Khalifa, and the sandstorm chase.
