Landmarks

TODO — what landmarks in Dubai are actually worth the time.

6 places

The tallest building in the world by a margin nothing has yet threatened, with three observation levels at three quite different prices.

The sail-shaped hotel on its own artificial island, which you cannot enter without spending money, and can photograph for nothing.

Ninety-four million cubic metres of dredged sand in the shape of a palm tree, now a suburb with a monorail.

A 150-metre gilded picture frame with a glass floor, positioned so old Dubai is on one side and new Dubai on the other.

The one mosque in Dubai open to non-Muslim visitors, on a guided programme designed to let you ask anything.

A choreographed fountain on a 12-hectare lake, free, every half hour after dark, and better from the bridge than from a restaurant table.
