The favourite tourist attractions were revealed

It probably won’t surprise you to see that the Burj Khalifa and the The Dubai Fountain have been chosen by tourists as their favourite attractions.

The Burj Khalifa impresses at 828 metres tall, towering over the city and giving visitors amazing views, while the Dubai Fountain mesmerises visitors as the worlds second largest choreographed fountain. 

Other attractions that made the Top Five proved a strong family focus

Family attractions topped the list of this survey showing just how family friendly Dubai is for holiday makers.

Dubai’s shopping malls took second place followed by the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, The Palm and Dubai’s restaurants rounding off the top five.
