This iconic luxury hotel first opened its doors on December 1, 1999, and stands as one of the tallest hotels in the world at a whopping 1,053 feet. The Burj Al Arab features many architectural marvels, one of which that it rests on a man-made island just a short distance away from the shores of Jumeirah Beach.

Another popular destination to add to your Dubai city tour itinerary is the Palm Islands. The name is attributed to the artificially created shape of the islands resembling a palm tree.
