That’s what you can’t help
but say when you visit Dubai.
Tucked away between latitude
25°North and longitude 55° East, Dubai is the largest city of the United Arab
Emirates and is also home to some of the largest buildings in the entire world.
This article will look at
four of them. And whilst they may not be one of your places to stay in Dubai
due to the huge cost and waiting lists, you can at least make a note to visit
them when you’re next in Dubai.
So without further ado,
here are the skyscrapers of Dubai.

At 2,772 feet,the Burj
Khalifa – also known as Khalifa Towers – is the tallest man-made structure in
the world.
Its construction was
started in September 2004 and completed in October 2009. And it became symbolic
of the UAE government’s decision to diversify from an oil based economy to a
service and tourism based economy. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime
Minister of the UAE, wanted to put Dubai on the map with ‘something
sensational’.
