Dubai’s Tallest Skyline

All you have to do is approach Dubai from the desert and you’ll come across the mightily photogenic skyline of Dubai with its gleaming skyscrapers shimmering like a mirage. Dubai’s architectural achievements symbolize the emirate’s arrival as a great commercial center and a modern city.

Dubai now has the world’s tallest building (the Burj Khalifa at 828m); the tallest hotel (the JW Marriott Marquis at 355m) and the tallest residential building (the Princess Tower at 413m).

It also has the greatest number of buildings standing at over 300m—18 in all, with 10 in construction—and that makes its skyline taller than Manhattan’s or Hong Kong’s or Chicago’s.

The Aesthetic Appeal of Dubai’s Skyline

However, Dubai doesn’t merely stand tall in the height contest. The design and appearance of its skyline provide an aesthetic aura that conjures up something quite distinctive to Dubai and exciting about the Arabian Gulf.

Many of Dubai’s skyscrapers are adorned with variants of traditional Arabic design, such as the mashrabiya, a screen for shade and for privacy, while others have distinctive geometric properties.
