Destination Focus: Dubai at New Years

This year, Dubai’s famous Burj Khalifa tower is playing a starring role in the celebrations. The world’s tallest building will be hosting a fireworks spectacular which is set to usher in 2012 with a bang. The show is being billed as the world’s highest pyrotechnic show and will get going from midnight.

Dubai is one of the world’s most interesting destinations to explore by road. Located on the Persian Gulf Coast of the United Arab Emirates, roughly at sea level, the emirate of Dubai borders Abu Dhabi in the south, Sharjah in the northeast and the Sultanate of Oman in the southeast.

A drive to Hatta, a small pocket of the emirate is surrounded on three sides by Oman and the emirates of Ajman in the west and Ras Al Khaimah in the north is definitely worth the effort.

For those who appreciate architecture, Dubai is a dream destination. There is a number of stunning examples of architecture on display in the city, due to a recent construction boom and a traditional passion for architecture which have been generously supported by design firms including Al Hashemi and Aedas. Dubai is now home to more skyscrapers higher than 2/3km or 1/3 km than any other city. The completion of the Burj Khalifa Tower was the icing on the cake, making it home to the world’s tallest building standing at 829.84 m (2,722.57 ft).

Dubai is a land of superlatives. Not only is it home to the world’s tallest building, it also boasts the world’s largest shopping mall (credit cards at the ready) as well as the world’s biggest floor space in its airport.

Dubai car hire gives you a great excuse to head down the Sheikh Zayed Road. It is named after the Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, a former ruler of Dubai. The Sheikh Zayed Road is like taking a trip down ’millionaire’s row’ to many properties and sky scrapers including the Burj Khalifa, Emirates Towers and a number of other plush hotels.
