The Burj's graceful silhouette - meant to evoke the sail of a dhow (traditional wooden cargo vessel) is to Dubai what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris.
Beyond the striking lobby, with its gold-leaf opulence and attention-grabbing fountain, lie 202 suites with more trimmings than a Christmas turkey.
After the ultra-modern heights of the Burj, there's nothing like the contrast of a simple abra ride on Dubai Creek.
Take beautiful old roofed boats from Bur Dubai Abra Station on the southern side, and ride across the creek for just one dirham at sunset, as the evening call to prayer is singing out across the mosque minarets. Close your eyes and you could be back in the 1960s when the city began. At the other side you'll be met with the aromas of Dubai's spice souk, the place to buy an incense burner and a handful of frankincense
Anyone keen on delving deeper into Emirati culture and history should take advantage of the activities, Emirati meals and tours offered through this nonprofit Sheikh Mohammed Centre

With around 1200 stores, this isn't merely the world's largest shopping mall.
It's a small city, with a giant ice rink and aquarium, a dinosaur skeleton, indoor theme parks and 150 food outlets.
The Dubai spawn of the Beirut original did not need long to get local hotties in a headlock with high-energy rooftop parties under the stars.
