About Dubai
Once a small fishing village in the Arabian Gulf, Dubai shares the spotlight with some of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. One of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, the city is home to more than 200 nationalities and offers an unforgettable experience to all visitors. Whether it is by the banks of the Creek, or at the top of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, Dubai lives and breathes a sense of possibility and innovation. And with an unparalleled coastline, beautiful desert and magnificent cityscapes, memories are just waiting to be made here.
A federation of seven emirates on the Arabian Peninsula, the United Arab Emirates—the UAE—unfurls a necklace of ultra-modern cities between desert and sea. While Dubai leads with its mega-tall Burj Khalifa, hotels, and theme parks, Abu Dhabi is culture central, with showpieces like its Sheikh Mohammed Mosque and Louvre art museum. Meanwhile, beaches, cruises, and desert safaris are big across all the coastal emirates. Yet many of the best things to do in the United Arab Emirates are less vaunted: souks, museums, multicultural cuisine, oases, and the adventure-packed Al-Hajar mountains.
Burj Khalifa
At 828m tall, this magnificent structure is located next to Dubai Mall and has drawn visitors from all over the world since opening in 2010. The unmatched Burj Khalifa view can be taken in from not one but two observations decks – the two-storey At the Top on the 124th and 125th floors, as well as one of the world’s highest observation decks (555m) on the 148th floor.
For a truly special time, visitors can choose to dine in the restaurant and lounge At.mosphere on the 122nd floor, or experience new heights at The Lounge, Burj Khalifa, which is spread across floors 152, 153 and 154, making it the tallest lounge on the planet.
The towering structure is based on an abstraction of the Hymenocallis flower, and is essentially three sections arranged around a central core. Viewed from above, it is consistent with the onion-dome design frequently found across a variety of Islamic architecture.
Experience 360-degree views from 124 floors up in the sky inside Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Then enjoy a 3-course meal. Standing at the height of 2717 feet, this iconic structure is truly an architectural marvel. This tour gives you the chance to visit the Burj Khalifa and see the city of Dubai from a unique perspective. Get Ready to enjoy At The Top Level 124 Floor with a 3 Course set menu at Rooftop View, The Burj Club for an alfresco meal experience overlooking The Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa.
Museum of the Future
One of Dubai’s most famous landmarks, the Museum of the Future (MOTF) takes pride of place along the city’s superhighway, Sheikh Zayed Road. Founded by the Dubai Future Foundation and launched on 22 February 2022, the museum explores how society could evolve in the coming decades using science and technology.
Termed a ‘living museum’, it incorporates elements of traditional exhibitions, immersive theatre and themed attractions, so visitors can look beyond the present and towards the future’s limitless possibilities. Furthering a global intellectual movement, it’s also the headquarters for the city’s ‘Great Arab Minds’ initiative that aims to identify 1,000 exceptional Arab talents across key fields.
What to expect at Museum of the Future
A gateway to the world 50 years from now, the landmark development will contribute to a better humanity and stronger global economy by demonstrating how next-generation solutions – incorporating everything from artificial intelligence to augmented reality – can enhance our lives. The main museum experience is split into five chapters:
- OSS Hope: experience life on a space station, 600km above the Earth.
- The Heal Institute: an augmented- and virtual-reality view of Dubai and the world in 2071.
- Al Waha: “The Oasis” offers soothing experiences and a Sensory Room.
- Tomorrow Today: Learn about the futuristic technologies that already exists today.
- Future Heroes: an interactive play-space designed to inspire children through missions and games.
Visitors will have the chance to engage with this game-changing technology. Each floor of the museum is designed like an expansive, interactive movie set, brought to life by expert storytellers, technologists and visionary artists. Topics in focus include the future of space travel and living, climate change and ecology, health, wellness and spirituality. Aside from ground-breaking innovations, there will also be special workshops and talks from the world’s greatest minds.
