Overview

Dubai's vibrant urban centrepiece is anchored by the 828m-high Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest structure, and also brims with other distinctive and futuristic architecture, especially along Sheikh Zayed Rd and in the Dubai Design District – it's no surprise that famed British architect Norman Foster recently opened an office here.
