Dubai Buildings Images 2011


Wild Wadi Water Park
An unforgettable adventure awaits you in the world's most advanced water theme park. It is situated between Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel.The park covers an area of 12 acres and comprises 24 adrenaline-pumping, state-of-the-art rides and slides.
 Hydropolis
Bringing new meaning to "ocean-view room," the Hydropolis hotel is the world's first underwater luxury resort. It will sit 66 feet below the surface of the Persian Gulf and feature 220 guest suites.
 Jumeirah Mosque
The city has many fine mosques. The largest -- and one of the most beautiful -- is Jumeirah Mosque. It is a great example of modern Islamic architecture and is one of the most photographed sites of Dubai.It is particularly attractive at night when subtle lighting throws its artistry into relief.

 The Louvre Abu Dhabi
Not to be outdone by neighboring Dubai, the city of Abu Dhabi signed a deal with France this year to build a spinoff of its most famous museum, the Louvre, in the Gulf emirate better known for oil than art.This computer image of the building will be built on a luxury resort island and is scheduled to open around 2012.
 The Palm Islands
In the shape of palm trees, these are the three largest man-made islands in the world. The islands are: The Palm Jumeirah, The Palm Jebel Ali and The Palm Deira.The islands were commissioned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in order to increase Dubai's tourism.
Rotating Skyscraper
The latest Dubai marvel-to-be is a proposed 68-story combination hotel, apartment and office tower where the floors would rotate 360 degrees.Each story of the tower would be shaped like a doughnut and be attached to a center core housing elevators. Each floor would rotate independently and one single rotation would take around 90 minutes.
Dubai Skyline
The government's decision to diversify from a trade-based but oil-reliant economy to one that is service- and tourism-oriented has boosted real estate values that have resulted in the current property boom.Construction on a large scale has turned Dubai into one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
Helipad of the Burj Al Arab
In preparation for the Dubai Duty Free Men's Open, tennis legend Andre Agassi and Roger Federer, the Swiss tennis professional who's ranked No. 1 in the world, couldn't resist the temptation to have a friendly knock-about on the world's highest tennis court -- the helipad of Burj Al Arab hotel.
