Dubai: Castles in the sand
First on the must-see list of indoor attractions is the record-breaking Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building at 828m. It sprouts out of the central city like a gleaming hypodermic needle, looking superimposed against the bright blue sky. Dubai is a theme park of firsts, biggests, tallests and oddests. Khalifa, the tallest, sits next to the Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping centre. And it’s there you buy your tickets to ride possibly the world’s most psychedelic elevator to the viewing platform two-thirds of the way up Khalifa.

Armani Hotel Dubai occupies floors concourse to eight, as well as levels 38 and 39 of Burj Khalifa.
