When you stay at the hotel, you will have personal lifestyle managers on hand to make sure everything goes as planned. Enjoy the seven restaurants with food from around the world, as well as the Armani Spa and Fitness center. It may even be tempting to spend your whole time in the hotel! Luckily the hotel is in the city center, so you will be able to get around very easily, making it easier to leave the hotel and see what the city has to offer.

The Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building and is located in Dubai. It was completed in October of 2009 and then renamed Burj Khalifa in 2010. It towers 829.8 meters, and has been the world’s largest building for twelve years now since it overtook Taipei 101.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai

You can visit the Burj Khalifa’s observation deck which sits on the 124th floor which is at 452 meters. While it is no longer the highest observation deck in the world, it was when it opened.

The observation deck now has an electronic telescope with augmented reality features that makes this experience a unique one. While it may sound surprising, on days when visibility is high and the tide is low, you can even see the banks of Iran, which sits 153 kilometers away.
