The Burj Khalifa, dominates the Dubai skyline with its majestic height. Standing 828 metres tall, this majesty is hard to miss however the buildings true majesty can be better experienced up close, or even better, on the inside. For those looking to have a meal in the clouds the Atmosphere on level 122 is the place to be.

Right next to the Burj Khalifa is The Dubai Mall. To call the sprawling development merely a shopping mall is doing it a disservice. Even an entire day spent here isn’t enough to see it all.

Each colourful, illuminated jet sways in time to the best musical numbers from around the world, producing what has become the one of the most popular shows in Dubai.
