Home New Dubai Downtown Dubai Dubai Creek Out of Town Guestbook About |
Downtown Dubai and Business BayThe term "Downtown Dubai" is used for several developments between Sheikh Zayed Road and Business Bay, an artificial extension of Dubai Creek. Hundreds of High-rise buildings are being constructed here and many of the developments have already been completed. In the center of it all stands the mighty Burj Khalifa, a real monster of a tower, just incredibly tall. At 828 metres of height and with 162 floors it is hundreds of metres taller than any other building in the world.Since it is always in sight and dominates the skyline Burj Khalifa is featured in most of my photographs of Downtown Dubai. I can even clearly see it from my neighborhood, which is at a distance of 18 kilometres from the Burj. But many of the surrounding developments are just as impressive. Right next to Burj Khalifa is "The Address", one of my favourite buildings. Its lighting at night is really stunning and makes it a landmark just as recognizable as Burj Khalifa. Between both buildings is an artificial lake with the largest musical fountain in the world. Right next to the lake you will find Dubai Mall, which is the largest Shopping Mall in the world. Inside Dubai Mall there is an Aquarium with the largest glass panel in the world. Well, I guess you get the idea - Downtown Dubai wants to be the biggest, the tallest, the best. Residential developments such as "The Old Town" and several towers called "Burj Dubai Residences" add to the lively neighborhood. Once completed this district will be one of the finest in Dubai. Next to the said projects another vision rises from the sand: Business Bay. This mixed commercial and residential development will consist of some 300 towers stretching out along an artificial extension of the Dubai Creek. Due to the scale of developments in Downtown Dubai and Business Bay you will find new views and different road layouts every time you go there. The pace of development here is just breathtaking. |
