🌆 Burj Khalifa

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Best time: November to March, when the heat eases

At 828 metres, the world's tallest building rises like a silver needle from the desert city. Decks on the 124th and 148th floors look out to the coast and dunes, with the Dubai Fountain below.

Good to know

• Sunset slots sell out first, so book early.
• The Dubai Fountain plays every 30 minutes in the evening, free.
