New Wonders Of Dubai

OVERVIEW

Enjoy a panoramic drive through Dubai with a focus on the ultra-modern icons that now define this visionary city. Along the way, you will pause for photos of landmarks that include the luxurious Burj Al Arab, a sail-shaped hotel that rises majestically high above the Arabian Gulf. Palm Jumeirah may be just as recognizable, especially when seen from The Pointe, a magnificent waterfront mall at the heart of this manmade island in the shape of a palm tree. You will also stop to snap photos of Dubai Marina, an exclusive neighborhood and massive boating facility built along a two-mile stretch of the gulf. The waterway is lined with what is often called "the tallest block," a stretch of skyscrapers whose scale is stunning. More skyscrapers await you as you drive through downtown Dubai on famed Sheikh Zayed Road to Dubai Mall, where you will spend free time browsing the sprawling shopping center.
