Burj Khalifa (p81)

1 Slicing through the slipstream of the sky’s superhighways, there is no more

potent a symbol of Dubai’s aspiration to position itself as a major global player than its phalanx of futuristic skyscrapers. Above them all looms the Burj Khalifa, shaped like a deep-space rocket and at 828m the world’s tallest building. Clad in 28,000 glass panels, it also lays claim to several more superlatives, including the highest outdoor observation deck, the most floors, the highest occupied floor and a lift (elevator) with the longest travel distance.

1 Downtown Dubai & Business Bay

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (p127)

2 Abu Dhabi’s snow-white landmark mosque was conceived by Sheikh

Zayed, the country’s ‘founding father’. It has truly impressive dimensions with 80 marble domes held aloft by 1000 pillars and space for 50,000 worshippers. Open to non-Muslims, the main prayer hall is a visual extravaganza drenched in gold leaf and boasting massive crystal chandeliers, the world’s largest handwoven carpet and pillars adorned with intricate semiprecious stones and floral marble inlays.

Louvre Abu Dhabi (p156)

3 The much anticipated, Jean Nouvel–designed

Louvre Abu Dhabi finally opened to great fanfare in late 2017. Sunlight filters through its huge perforated dome onto a cluster of 23 galleries sheltering 600 priceless works that illus-trate our shared humanity across time, ethnicity and geography. Highlights include a Da Vinci painting, a Chinese Buddha and a bronze statue from Benin. The dome pays homage to desert-palm shading – its geometric openings rep-resent the interlaced palm leaves used in traditional roofing – and creates a cin-ematic ‘rain of light’ as the sun’s rays pass throughout the day.

1 Abu Dhabi

Shopping (p37)

4 Shopping malls repre-sent an integral part

of the culture and lifestyle in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Not merely places for max-ing out your credit cards on fashion, electronics or gourmet foods, malls are also where locals go to socialise in cafes and res-taurants, to catch a movie in a state-of-the-art mul-tiplex or to get adrenaline kicks in an indoor theme park or game arcade. The best and biggest of the bunch is Dubai Mall, which features not only 1200 shops but also a giant aquarium, an indoor ice rink and a genuine dinosaur skeleton. DUBAI MALL (P82)

7 Shopping

Exotic Souqs (p52)

5 For a dose of Arabian Nights flair, head to

Dubai’s historic core and plunge headlong into its charmingly chaotic war-ren of souqs. There are sections for spices and perfume, but the head-liner is the dazzling Gold Souq. Even if you don’t have a thing for bling, a walk through here will feel like you’ve entered a giant Aladdin’s Cave. It’s fun to just watch the action, especially in the evening. If you’re buying, sharpen your haggling skills no matter whether shop-ping for teensy earrings, an engagement ring or a dowry-worthy necklace. SPICE SOUK (P53)

Al Fahidi Historic District (p67)

6 Wandering around this restored heritage area in Bur Dubai provides a

tangible sense of historic Middle Eastern architecture and culture. Low-lying tradi-tional courtyard buildings flank this quiet labyrinth of lanes, many of them featuring arabesque windows, decorative gypsum screens and wind towers. Some contain craft shops, small heritage museums, art galleries, artsy guesthouses or cafes serv-ing local fare, including Arabic breakfasts and camel milk smoothies. The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Under-standing leads guided tours of the quarter.

1 Bur Dubai

Burj Al Arab (p97)

7 This landmark luxe hotel, with its dra-matic design that mimics the billowing

sail of a ship, floats on its own artifical island and has become the iconic symbol of Dubai’s boom years. The interior is all about impact, drama and unapologetic bling, with dancing fountains, gold fittings, shiny marble and whirlpool baths your butler can fill with champagne if you so wish. If a stay exceeds your budget, you can still partake in the opulence by making reservations for cocktails, afternoon tea or dinner in the underwater restaurant.

Dubai Museum (p66)

8 Housed in Bur Dubai’s Al Fahidi Fort, the city’s

oldest surviving structure, this museum provides a well-laid-out introduction to the history of Dubai. Marvel at the turbo-evolution of this city from simple desert settle-ment to futuristic metropolis in just a third of a century. Dioramas recreate traditional scenes in a souq, at home and in the mosque, while other galleries focus on life at sea and in the desert. An archaeo-logical exhibition illustrates the ancient history of the region with a display of items unearthed during excavations at local digs.

IMG Worlds of Adventure (p91)

9 In 2016, Dubai added four theme parks to its stable of attractions, including

IMG Worlds of Adventure, the world’s larg-est indoor theme park. Daredevils can join the Avengers in battling the evil Ultron, get pummelled by Thor in a lunch-losing top-spin ride, pose for selfies with a walking dinosaur and feel like a cannonball when going from zero to 100 in 2.5 seconds on the Velociraptor coaster. Little kids, mean-while, will be enchanted by Ben 10, Gumball and the Power puff Girls in the Cartoon Network wing.

2 Downtown Dubai & Business Bay

Emirates Palace (p135)

10 One of the most expensive hotels ever built, Emirates Palace allegedly came at a price tag of a cool US$3.5 billion. Surrounded by carefully manicured fountain-

laden gardens, it has its own marina, helipad and 1.3km-long sandy beach. The interior is an opulent feast decked out in marble, gold and mother of pearl, hundreds of palm trees and 1000 Swarovski crystal chandeliers. The exterior looks especially magical when illuminated at night.

Our StoryA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.

Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
