95% Approval Rating on TripAdvisor as of 8/13/2012 Amenities: Free Wi-Fi Rooftop Swimming Pool Restaurant and Bar Free shuttle service to beach and shopping and airport Fitness Center Deluxe Options: The Address Downtown Dubai (Emaar Blvd, Downtown Dubai ) There’s a case to be made that if you want to get to the heart of the new Dubai, this is the place to go. The Address Downtown Dubai is sandwiched between the sprawling Dubai Mall and the enormous Burj Khalifa, which will be for a time the tallest building in the world — and if there’s a city where bigger is unquestionably better, it’s got to be this one. Not for the Address, then, the subtle pleasures of the intimate little boutique hotel. It’s shorter than the Burj, but not by a whole lot, its 196 rooms and suites standing as high as sixty-three floors up. The look is contemporary luxury, and the services and amenities are encyclopedic to match: thoroughly wired, 24-hour everything, and no convenience spared, right down to details like in-room espresso machines and Acqua di Parma bath products. And what it lacks in some kind of kitsch local color it more than makes up for in international culinary appeal. Restaurants include Chinese and wide-ranging pan-global options, and the sky bar, all the way up on the sixty-third floor, serves cocktails and snacks with a vertiginous view of downtown Dubai. 90% Approval Rating from TripAdvisor as of 8/13/2012

A visit starts at the al-Fahidi fort, which has a few examples of the traditional reed houses and other artifacts, but isn't much to look at. The more interesting part is the modern extension built underneath the fort, showcasing Dubai's history using the latest technology and culminating in a reconstructed souq from the pearling days, complete with authentic sights and sounds. It is quite fascinating to see the speed at which the transition from poor pearling village to modern metropolis occurred. Burj Khalifa - Until recently called Burj Dubai, at 828 metres and 160 floors this is the world's tallest structure by a long shot, over 300m taller than the previous contender in Taipei. The observation deck at the 124th floor is the 2nd highest in the world after the Shanghai World Financial center. Already dominating the Dubai skyline, the newly opened tower houses nine hotels and a Las Vegas-inspired fountain system. The visitors' entrance is located at the lower ground floor of Dubai Mall. Although the tour is called At the Top be aware that it isn't! Although the observation deck is the highest open deck in the world, at 452m it's just over halfway up the tower itself. Console yourself with the knowledge that most of the rest of the tower consists of service areas and the view below looks suitably ant-like. Tickets can sell out several days in advance, and it is advisable to book them online ahead of your visit. Palm Islands - The three largest artificial islands in the world are located just off the coast of Dubai; a major urban development to add a significant amount of upscale beachfront property to the area. Each of the islands is shaped like a palm leaf, with a trunk connected to the mainland, fronds extending from the trunk, and a crescent (a breakwater encircling the trunk and fronds). Of the three planned, the Palm Jumeirah, at 5km square and near Dubai Marina, is the only one yet open, connected to the mainland by a freeway bridge and a monorail and sporting marinas, luxury resorts, and upscale shopping areas. Desert Safari - Head out to the desert in an SUV with specialist Desert Drivers. The drivers will take you for a roller-coaster ride over sand dunes, show you the sunset from a strategic vantage point and then take you to a lavish dinner with music and dance to complete the atmosphere. You may want to stay clear of the dune-bashing if you know that you get carsick easily. They have recently added a Hummer H3 to the roster, which costs a bit more but is worth the money. Dubai Mall - is Dubai's Largest Mall, which was opened in November 2008. It has over 1200 shops of brand names from all over the world. It is currently the largest mall in the world. Contains an indoor ice rink and indoor aquarium. It is right next door to the Burj Khalifah, the world's tallest building, and the visitors' entrance to the Burj Khalifah is located at the lower ground floor of the Mall.
