I have made a list of four things which are surely going to amaze the first time visitors.

Don’t miss to visit the tallest building in the world, when you visit Dubai. Burj Khalifa is the modern architectural wonder which also derives its design from Islamic Architecture. Construction was started in 2004 and opened in 2010 for the public. One definitely wants to visit the observation deck, there are two decks first on the 124th floor and second on the 148th floor. Once you are that height, you can see the curvature of the earth. The elevator of Burj Khalifa covers the distance of 10 meters in one second, this building has everything a tourist wants to visit Burj Khalifa and get amazed.

With hundreds of restaurants and cafes, cinema halls, shops, and other attractions, you would see the entire world here. You would find people from across the globe are roaming in the mall as if an international event going on.
