The world’s most audaciously ambitious and most extraordinarily rapidly realised city — where the Burj Khalifa’s 828-metre tower soars above a skyline of extraordinary architectural diversity as the most visible and most celebrated monument to human ambition and engineering genius ever constructed, the Dubai Frame’s extraordinary 150-metre picture frame of gold and glass simultaneously presents the old and new Dubai in the most dramatically conceived and most visually arresting architectural metaphor in the contemporary world, and the legendary gold and spice souks of Dubai Creek’s historic Deira district preserve the authentic sights, sounds, and aromas of the traditional Arabian trading port that gave birth to one of the most extraordinary urban transformation stories in the history of human civilisation.
