Our city never goes far enough. With a list of achievements that include world’s largest shopping mall and world’s tallest building, Dubai is a sight to behold. In fact, your location on Palm Jumeirah, one of the world’s largest manmade islands, makes visiting the 163-story Burj Khalifa observation deck that much simpler. Just 10 minutes from  Media City and near the Dubai Marina, access has never been easier. For a little extra height and a better view of The Palm, try Skydive Dubai. Thrill seekers are 15 minutes from one of the world’s longest overwater ziplines as well as daring desert safaris near Burj Al Arab. W Dubai – The Palm offers insider access to Arabian Adventures, a tour de force among tour groups in the U.A.E.
