Main Attractions and Iconic Landmarks

Dubai’s skyline is immediately recognizable, dominated by structures that push the limits of engineering:

  • The Dubai Fountain: Located at the base of the Burj Khalifa and on the Burj Khalifa Lake, this is the world's largest choreographed fountain system. Its spectacular evening shows, synchronized to a range of music, are a must-see free attraction.

  • Palm Jumeirah: This iconic man-made island is shaped like a palm tree and home to luxury resorts like Atlantis, The Palm, as well as high-end restaurants and the spectacular View at The Palm observation deck.
