Downtown Dubai

Downtown Dubai is the tourist, cultural, business and entertainment center of the Emirate, located between old and new Dubai. Although the district has an area of only 26,909,776 sq. ft, it is home to the main sights of the city, which are recognized as the “record holders” of the world, including the tallest skyscraper on the planet, the Burj Khalifa, the world’s largest light and music fountains, The Dubai Fountain, as well as The Dubai Mall, the largest shopping and entertainment complex in the UAE.

Downtown Dubai is a mixed-use development, with Emaar Properties acting as the master developer. The district has existed for over 20 years and combines both traditional oriental architecture and ultra-modern buildings with futuristic designs, such as The Dubai Opera and the adjacent residential complex IL Primo.
