Highlights
Jumeirah Mosque
The Jumeirah Mosque is considered by many to be the most beautiful mosque in Dubai. An exact replica of Cairo's Al-Azhar Mosque, which is eight times its size, the Jumeirah Mosque is a fine example of Islamic architecture. It is also particularly beautiful at night when illuminated by floodlights.
Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall
Dubai's landmark building and its most important tourist attraction is the Burj Khalifa, which at 829.8 meters is the tallest building in the world and the most famous point of interest in the city. For most visitors, it offers a breathtaking 360-degree view.
The Dubai Aquarium
It is one of the city's top tourist attractions, housing 140 species of marine life in a massive suspended tank on the ground floor of the Dubai Mall. Aside from the free view from the mall itself, if you enter the Underwater Zoo, you can walk through the aquarium's tunnel system.
Al Fahidi Historical District and Dubai Museum
Housed within the walls of the Al Fahidi Fort in Old Dubai, it stands as a brilliant tribute to the city's past. This historical Dubai landmark showcases history through traditional scenes of Arabian households, bazaars, and mosques, offering unique insights into life in the desert by the sea.
