A Skyline That Stretches Beyond the Horizon
Did you know that on a clear day, Dubai’s iconic skyline can be seen from over 90 kilometers (55+ miles) away? This impressive visibility is made possible by the flat, open desert landscape surrounding the city, which offers an uninterrupted view toward the towering silhouettes of its superstructures. The centerpiece, of course, is the Burj Khalifa, standing at a staggering 828 meters — not only the tallest building in the world but also one of the most visible man-made landmarks from a distance.
Whether you're driving in from Abu Dhabi or flying in from afar, the first thing to greet you on the horizon is a vertical cityscape rising dramatically from the desert sands — a surreal and awe-inspiring sight that feels like something out of a sci-fi movie.
