The Burj al Arab, the Dubai Mall and the View

        The Burj Al Arab, Dubai's iconic sail-shaped hotel, fits anyone's definition of "luxury."

By land area, the Dubai Mall is the second-largest in the world and contains more than 1,300 stores, an aquarium, an ice-skating rink, and numerous other attractions. Below is a photo of the popular dinosaur skeleton. The Mall is regularly the most visited tourist attraction in the world, surpassing New York City and Los Angeles.

                                           Interesting sculptures are placed throughout the Mall.

 

The Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest structure, soars half a mile into the sky. Needless to say, the views are spectacular.
