GREAT VIEWS

You'll definitely need a head for heights if you go to the top of the Burj Khalifa - an impressive 2,722ft building that stands over twice as high as the UK's tallest, London's Shard. Get the express lift to the 'At The Top' observation deck on the 124th floor. Prices from £33/AED 159; burjkhalifa. ae. Right outside the Burj Khalifa, watch the incredible - and free - Dubai Water Fountains. Synced to music and lights, they shoot water as high as 500 feet - that's as tall as a 50-storey building.

VISIT THE PALM

This is one of those places that feels like it's straight out of a postcard. Shaped like a palm tree, it's packed with luxury resorts, beach clubs and stunning waterfront views. Stroll along the boardwalk, grab a drink with a view, or and take in the skyline. Don't miss a visit to iconic hotel Atlantis, The Palm with its incredible aquarium. Underwater rooms can cost a whopping £19,000 a night here.
