Dubai is so ugly, kitsch, and meretricious.

[RHINO]

Dubai is a land of dreams where there are no NIMBY issues and builders are permitted to let their imaginations run wild. It takes appreciation to understand this, but it seems 8/10 people can see it. The other 2 are not high rise fans or progress fans.

[Pete70]

Hate it or love it, this is hands down one of the most fascinating cities in the world ...

[Biff]

I was there in Feb of this year and found it to be amazing. It is undoubtedly not a model for sustained city building but it's haphazardly planned city scape and seemingly unlimited wealth and ego make it very interesting none the less. Many question and dislike the architectural styles built here but I would think that it would be an architects dream to, with the right owner/developer, build whatever they could vision.

Yeah, we planned it that way. I still have the current temps on my phone and check periodically, sheesh....daytime consistently over 40 and night time lows over 30.

We really had a great time. My kids are constantly asking to go back.

Did you manage to visit Abu Dhabi ? the kids would have a blast at yas island :) In April of 2014 , the yas mall will have a soft opening (second largest mall in the UAE , and it is connected to the ferrari world and rollercoaster + yas water park. Your wife can go shopping, kids at the water park and you at the tracks racing ;)

The Saadiyat public beach which is also the breeding ground for those giant turtles is a must visit. pristine white beaches. and around 2015/2016 major museums are opening up at saadiyat island.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes we went to Abu Dhabi. We visited the Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace and had lunch on the waterfront along Corniche Rd. If we had more time we would have gone to Ferrari World but unfortunately we didn't. As was Dubai, Abu Dhabi was amazing.

I visited Dubai with my gf for one week in January and will add some pictures to this thread.
We stayed for one week totally in Dubai, and went for a short daytrip to Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE. We stayed at Grandeur Hotel (3+) in Al Barsha, a new residential/hotel district in the south part of Dubai.

Read the whole article about my experience of Dubai, with many interesting facts on the bottom of this page:

THE VIEWS FROM BURJ KHALIFA

Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building! It was completed in 2010 and is 829m to the top of the spire (739m to the roof) and has 163 floors! We visited the observaton deck, called At the top. The skyscraper was designed by Adrian Smith at the famous Chicago based architect firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The elevators are the fastest in the world! It is a mixed use building, so it houses both offices, apartments and luxury hotels, like the 7-star Armani Hotel. Inititally it was called Burj Dubai, but the name was changed just bofore completion to honour Sheikh Khalifa of Abu Dhabi (the president of UAE), since he borrowed money to complete the project in 2009 when Dubai went bankrupt.
Even if it's called At the Top, the observation deck is not at the top, it is situated about halfway to the top to the world's tallest building, 424m in the sky, the 124th floor. There are 163 floors in the building totally, but also a lot of height with just the spire and mast. It is important to know that you have to book you tickets a few weeks before your visit at this site and they are pretty expensive (125 AED for an adult)! The observation deck, partly outside, features a 360 degree view of Dubai, so you can see most parts of Dubai on a clear day! Unfortunately the weather was not the best during our visit to the top (a bit grey and foggy) considering it was in Dubai but could be worse of couse, and since you have to book several weeks before in advance (or pay 400 AED!) you can't really plan the trip considering the weather. The skyscrapers along Sheikh Zayed Road can be found on both sides of Burj Khalifa.

BUR DUBAI (OLD TOWN) and AL BASTAKIYA:

Bur Dubai is the oldest part of Dubai, so if you haven't visit Bur Dubai, you haven't actually been in Dubai! It is the historic city center, located at the Dubai Creek. On the opposite side of the creek is Deira, the old financial center, but much more modern then Bur Dubai. Most of the parts of Dubai that are situated south of Bur Dubai, were built less then 20 years ago. In the mid 1990s Bur Dubai was Dubai, and the rest was desert. Bur Dubai literally means Mainland Dubai. Since 2008, construction has going on on the extension of Dubai Creek, turning Bur Dubai into an island.

Here you can find the Ruler's Court, The Juma Grand Mosque (tallest minaret in Dubai), Al Fahidi Fort that hosts the Dubai Museum (oldest remaining buildign in Dubai), the Iranin Mosque, the only Hindu temple in the country as well as shopping streets and a traditional textile souk. From the creek you can take an large wooden restaurant boat or a small abra (water taxi) to Deira on the other side. Al Bastakiya historic area is situated just to the East of Dubai Museum. The area has been famous for its old buildings with courtyards and wind towers. Click here to go directly to Bastakiya. Shindagha, just to the North of Bur Dubai next to Dubai Creek, is also a historic part of Dubai, here you can find the historic Heritage Village and the historic ruler's house. Click here to visit Al Shindagha.

Bur Dubai is mostly a residential area with not so many hotels, and it feels less touristy then the modern parts of Dubai. A large number of inhabitans are from Indian, and the atmosphere is much more gritty with the souks, old houses, small traditional shops called "trading companies" and old boats, so it feels more then India then the Dubai most westeners got the picture of, but the truth is that this is the real Dubai!

We visited Bur Dubai on a Friday. Friday and Thursday are the weekly holidays, like Sunday in the western hemisphere, so many stores were closed during day, but opened later in the evening, but the souk was open all the time.

AL SHINDAGHA AND HERITAGE VILLAGE:

Al Shindagha is the oldest part of Dubai (together with Al Bastakiya), established in the 1830s. This peninsual is situated on the Northwest shore of Dubai Creek, and borders Bur Dubai. This is where many South Asian workers live. This neighbourhood has more in common with Cairo or Tunis, or even India, then with the modern part of Dubai and western cities. Here you can find the Heritage Village, a historical area with refurbished old resiential houses in Middle Eastern style -built in sandstone and clay, and arrangements, museums and installations that show life before oil -including camels and bedouins, when Dubai was a fishing village. You can also find the historical areas Fishing Village and Diving Village here. Al Shindagha is also where you find the home of the older relatives of the Al Maktoum ruling family, like Sheikh Zayed. Here you also have a nice view of Deira, Bur Dubai and the new skyline in the far distance. The busy Shindagha tunnel connects the old part with Deira under the creek.

IBN BATTUTA MALL, JEBEL ALI:

Ibn Battuta Mall is a large mall situated in the southern suburb of Jebel Ali. The mall, opened in 2005, is pretty special since it is themed around the Morroccan Berber explorer Ibn Battuta and the six countries he visited: Persia, Andalusia, Egypt, Tunisia, China and India. There are sculptures and worlds that tell stories about the places.

It has 270 stores, 50 restaurant, a 21-screen cinema and 4 500 parking spaces covering 521 000 square meters. There are plans to add 150 additonal stores to it!

We visited the mall in the late Friday evening, a long metro ride after the visit to Bur Dubai. Since Friday is holiday, and it was the Dubai Shopping Festival at the moment, it was open to 1 PM in the night!

AL BARSHA:

Al Barsha is a district in Southwest Dubai, between Downtown and Dubai Marina, mostly known for the Mall of the Emirates, a fancy mall with many stores and a famous indoor ski slope! The area is mostly filled with midrise residential apartments, restaurants and a lot of hotels - everthing very new since the area was constructed just a few years ago. Some blocks are empty blocks filled with desert sands, in the middle of luxury hotels. It consists of six sub-communities and is bounded by Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.

Al Barsha is the area where we stayed, at the Grandeur Hotel.

MADINAT JUMEIRAH:

Madinat Jumeirah (literally the town of Jumeirah) is the largest resort complex in the Emirates, inaugurated in 2004. It is built in Middle Eastern style, situated between Jumeirah Beach and Jumeirah Road (the intersection where it changes name to Al Sufouh Road. It consists of large buildings in traditional style, that has been oversized. The architect designed the complex to resemble the historic Arabic windtower houses in the Bastakiya and Heritage Village historic districts, but much larger, and without the limits of the technology that was available then.

Madinat Jumeirah contains two luxury boutique hotels -Mina a'Salam and Al Qasr, canals, small lakes with tourist boats, 29 summer houses -called Dar Al Masyaf, landscaped gardens with palms, 40 restaurants/bars, a theater, an exhibtion hall, stores, bridges and a souk (Arabian market) that occupies a large part of the complex. It is home to the Dubai Film Festival and the Art Dubai International Fair. The Madinat Jumeirah is a very nice area, very pedestrian friendly and definately worth to visit even if it is a bit touristy. Especially the architecture is definately worth checking out!

PALM JUMEIRAH ISLAND:

Palm Jumeirah is an artificial archipelago with a shape of a palm, when seen from above, created by Nakheel. It is the only one of 3 palm islands that had been completed at the time of our visit (2014). Palm Jumeirah is the world's largest ariticial island and is filled with many luxury private villas, luxury apartments buildings, resort hotels, a water park, beaches, marinas, restaurants and a small airport. The private villas and some of the hotels are situated on the 16 fronds (palm blades), while the apartment buildings are situated along the boulevard in the middle. In the middle of the boulevard, there is an elevated, computer driven, driverless monorail train with stunning views of Dubai! In the end of this boulevard, the most famous structure of Palm Island is situated; the Atlantis resort, one of only two luxury hotels with this name, themed around the sea (the other one is on Bahamas). Surrounding the palm islands there is a crescent island with 14 themed resort hotels (like Atlantis, Fairmont, Trump, Waldorf Astoria and Kempinski). Celebrities like David Beckham and Brad Pitt own mansions on the island. Construction was started in 2001 and the first inhabitants moved there in 2006. There were a controversy about the island, since Nakheel extended the residences from 2000 to 4500, increasing the cost a lot, and there are rumours that the island is sinking.

FINANCIAL CENTER, SHEIKH ZAYED ROAD:

Sheikh Zayed Road is the main thouroughfare of Dubai, a 10-18 lane highway with a driverless, elevated metro in the middle. Along the Northern part, the largest cluster of supertall skyscrapers of Dubai is situated - the Financial Centre. It is bordered to the North by Bur Dubai (the old town) and to the South by New Downtown, where you find Burj Khalifa and Business Bay. New Downtown, Financial Centre and Business Bay is practically one large cluster, where all skyscrapers are situated along or close to Sheikh Zayed Road. Further to the South, Sheikh Zayed Rd passes between Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lakes Towers, two clusters where you also can find some of Dubai's tallest skyscrapers. Just North of the Financial Centre, World Trade Center stood as the tallest in the Emirates between 1979 and 1999 (Burj Al Arab was completed then), and in 2000 the elegant Emirates Towers where completed. The Emirates Towers where the tallest buildings in Dubai and Middle East until 2009. Until the mid 2000s, these buildings were almost the only ones on a lonely desert road.

We were a bit unlucky with the weather, getting grey skies and even some rain during our photo session, nothing you would expect in Dubai! This area is often critisized for being dead and to lack street life, but to be honest it is pretty well planned; there are side streets parallel to the Sheikh Zayed highway on both sides, where you can find restaurants, cafés and stores.

The complex, in silver aluminium and bronze glass, was designed by the Hong Kong architect Hazel Wong. The hotel is called Jumeirah Emirates Towers.

JUMEIRAH LAKES TOWERS:

Jumeirah Lakes Towers is a skyscraper cluster and free zone with many residential, office and hotel towers, situated in South Dubai opposite Dubai Marina from Sheikh Zayed Road. The neighbourhood is a brand new so called free zone and is landscaped around 3 lakes, it resembles Miami and Chicago. This site was only desert a few years ago. The tallest tower there is Almas Tower, one of Dubai's tallest ones. We visited Jumeirah Lakes Towers the last day in Dubai, before our flight home.

http://www.worldtravelimages.net/Dubai_08_12.JPG
Almas Tower, the tallest of Jumeirah Lakes Towers and second tallest of Dubai (2014), has 68 floors and was completed in 2009, Dubai's tallest building until Burj Khalifa was complete in 2010. The facade is covered in green glass.

DEIRA:

Deira is situated just to the North and East of Bur Dubai (old town) and is the old financial center. It was the most modern part of Dubai until projects like New Downtown, Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai Marina were released in the late 90s/2000s. Today the skyline seems really small compared to the newer parts in the south, but as late as in the 1990s, this was the only modern skyline of Dubai, and some of the buildings were really considered futuristic.
In Deira there is also a really old part with several souks (markets), such as the gold souk, the spice souk and the golden souk, mosques and the Deira Shopping center (Dubai's most popular mall) etc. You also find several international luxury hotels here. Port Saeed, part of Deira, holds the dhows (old fashioned cruise boats), abras (water taxis) and small shipping boats. The National Bank of Dubai, The Clock Tower and the Maktoum Bridge are among the landmarks in Deira.
We never visited Deira actually, we only saw it from across the creek, from the waterside of Bur Dubai and Al Shindagha. Originally we planned to go to Deira, but since there was so much to see in Bur Dubai, that took the whole day. Anyway, the best view of Deira is from afar.

http://www.worldtravelimages.net/Dubai_04_176.JPG
Deira skyline and Dubai Creek (Al Khor) seen from Bur Dubai. It might not look much today, but this was the picture that were used in the 1990s to market Dubai i travel catalogues, before the large construction boom. The tallest building, with the convex glass facade, is the National Bank of Dubai from 1998, designed by Carlos Ott (125m, 25 floors). The blue glass building is the Chamber of Commerce from 1995, only 18 floors. The white building with the triangular shape is the Sheraton Deira Hotel, built already in 1978, the first futuristic building of Dubai. Right above it is Dubai Creek Tower from 1995 and the building is the huge golf ball on top is the Etisalat Building (all of Etisalat, the national telecom company's buildings have golf balls on top) from 1992. Old abras (water taxis) and dhows (wooden cruise ships) can be seen on the creek.

JUMEIRAH:
Jumeirah Beach, Jumeirah Road, Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Mosque, Mercato Mall

Jumeirah Road is the long road that goes along the coast of Dubai, parallel to the popular Jumeirah Beach. Unfortunately the sea is not visible from Jumeirah Road, so it is not a nice beach road for pedestrians with beautiful homes like I thought, it is more like a thouroughfare for cars with fastfood restaurants, workshops and warehouses and basic residential buildings, and many similar looking mosques, one of them is the only mosque in Dubai open for tourists. There are also some fancy shopping malls, like Mercato, de luxe hotels and exclusive restaurants, and from some points you can see the Financial Center skyline, including Burj Khalifa.

The hotels are facing the sea, the most famous is the sail shaped Burj Al Arab, said to be the world's first 7 star hotel, and the world's tallest upon completion. The district is called Umm Suqeim.

JUMEIRAH BEACH:

Jumeirah Beach and Burj Al Arab, the "7 star" hotel that was the world's tallest full hotel upon completion in 1999, 321m to the spire. Now it has been surpassed by other hotels in Dubai and China. It has 60 floors and a helicopter platform on top. It resembles a sail and the architecture style is structural expressionism and was designed by Atkins & Partners. To get inside and see the spectacular tall atrium and other features, you must reserve a table at one of the super expensive restaurants or bars, something we didn't have the opportunity unfortunately.

Jumeirah Beach Hotel has a curved shape. It was bult in the 1997 and was one of the first de luxe resort hotels in Dubai. It is hard to believe today that it was the 9th tallest building in Dubai upon completion, today lower then 100th tallest!

Jumeirah Mosque, the only mosque that visitors are allowed to enter. Actually there are many mosques along Jumeirah Road with almost similar design to this one, but this is the most famous one since it is open for non muslims. This is the one that usually occurs on photos, in the North part of Jumeirah Road.

BUSINESS BAY:

Business Bay is the brand new area, still under construction in the desert (2014), that borders the New Downtown and Burj Khalifa to the South. The Dubai Creek has been artificially extended into the Business Bay area. The most dominant building is the brand new JW Marriott, that now also is the world's tallest hotel. Most skyscrapers are just a few years old, and you could still see the desert sand during our visit, clearly visible from Burj Khalifa.
We only saw Business Bay from afar, the buildings are impressive, though some of them are among the more tacky in Dubai, but I think several years will remain before this will be an attractive area to visit.

http://www.worldtravelimages.net/Dubai_03_085.JPG
JW Marriott Marquis in Business Bay is currently (2014) the world's tallest hotel! It consist of two identical postmodern skyscrapers, 355m to the spire and 77 floors each, and was completed in 2013.

View several stunning photos of amazing Dubai in the Huffington Post’s story, “Dubai: Pearl of the Desert,” by writer/actor Jay Tavare. It features the latest images of the city’s fast-growing and most impressive skyline from the Burj Khalifa to Palm Island Dubai and the Dubai Mall. The author writes, after visiting the Burj Khalifa that, “..I got a sense that if it was not the biggest, tallest, fastest, rarest and most expensive it has no place in Dubai.” Amazed by the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, Tavare credited its architects Adrian Smith, Marshall Strabala, William Baker and George Efstathiou for their “daring design.”

Great images!

I was wondering if any of you guys is a foreigner that actually made it to get a local (UAE) citizenship? Is it even possible to obtain one?

[Angalfaria]

Dubai is one of the most beautiful and enjoyable cities in the world. This thread now fulfilled with some handsome pics, which is really admirable. The design of the buildings and the height makes Dubai unique from the other cities. In every year many people come and stay and enjoy a lot their vacation here. I feel proud to be born in Dubai.
Thanks, people for sharing some beautiful pics of Dubai.

THE VIEWS FROM BURJ KHALIFA

Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building! It was completed in 2010 and is 829m to the top of the spire (739m to the roof) and has 163 floors! We visited the observaton deck, called At the top. The skyscraper was designed by Adrian Smith at the famous Chicago based architect firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The elevators are the fastest in the world! It is a mixed use building, so it houses both offices, apartments and luxury hotels, like the 7-star Armani Hotel. Inititally it was called Burj Dubai, but the name was changed just bofore completion to honour Sheikh Khalifa of Abu Dhabi (the president of UAE), since he borrowed money to complete the project in 2009 when Dubai went bankrupt.
Even if it's called At the Top, the observation deck is not at the top, it is situated about halfway to the top to the world's tallest building, 424m in the sky, the 124th floor. There are 163 floors in the building totally, but also a lot of height with just the spire and mast. It is important to know that you have to book you tickets a few weeks before your visit at this site and they are pretty expensive (125 AED for an adult)! The observation deck, partly outside, features a 360 degree view of Dubai, so you can see most parts of Dubai on a clear day! Unfortunately the weather was not the best during our visit to the top (a bit grey and foggy) considering it was in Dubai but could be worse of couse, and since you have to book several weeks before in advance (or pay 400 AED!) you can't really plan the trip considering the weather. The skyscrapers along Sheikh Zayed Road can be found on both sides of Burj Khalifa.

Any recommendations on where I can go to take a panoramic shot of the skyline?

[ameliasmith11.]

We had an incredible time on our Dubai city tour, capturing the beauty of this dynamic city through our lenses! From the iconic skyscrapers of Downtown to the historic charm of Old Dubai, every moment was picture-perfect. We snapped away, capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend the Dubai city tour (https://dessertsafaridubai.com/dubai-city-tour/)for photography enthusiasts looking to capture the essence of this stunning city.
