TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

Grosvenor House, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Dubai celebrates the first of four new dining experiences to open in the breath-taking Tower Two. Toro Toro (meaning bull) is an all new dining concept developed by internationally acclaimed, Latin American Chef Richard Sandoval. The restaurant offers varied dining experiences that span over two floors on the marina's edge.

To celebrate the launch of its second daily service from the Mother City, Emirates is offering Capetonians a complimentary stopover package when they book a first or business class ticket to any point on the airline’s network of 111 international destinations.

The Mission: Impossible films rely on exotic destinations, perhaps none more so than Ghost Protocol, which shifts from Budapest to Moscow to Dubai to Mumbai to, um, Seattle. The third leg of that journey is basically just an excuse to shoot at the Burj Khalifa, the 2,716-foot skyscraper that currently reigns as the world’s tallest building.

Dubai: Another world record has been broken in Dubai, as cyclists gave a whole other meaning to putting the pedal to the metal. On November 26, 2016, an impressive 8,999...

“It’s absolutely amazing,” said the enthusiastic Wozniacki, who was just a little hesitant to venture too close to the glass windows. Caroline Wozniacki celebrated her spot as highest seed in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships with a trip to the world’s highest tower today. The 20-year-old Dane visited Burj Khalifa as part of the WTA’s Full of Surprises film shoot, which will be broadcast on the Tour website as well as the Facebook page.

The 38-year-old artist and architect was in Washington recently to help set up an exhibition of his work at the National Building Museum. Called "Lego Architecture: Towering Ambition," the show features 15 miniature models of some of the world's most famous buildings, built entirely out of Lego pieces. Did I say miniature? One of the works in the show is almost 18 feet tall and made from 450,300 Lego pieces. It's a copy of the Burj Khalifa, a brand-new skyscraper in Dubai that, at 2,717 feet, holds the record as the tallest building in the world.

If you were to put them onstage side by side a typical symphony orchestra, Dubai Youth Orchestra will definitely prove that when it comes to the love for music, age is just a number. 
And rightly so, when the master conductor raised his hand to begin the concert on Sunday night, their music dominated the jampacked Pavilion Downtown Dubai and left the audience in awe.

Dubai Walking in to Maison Bagatelle on a weekday morning for a late breakfast or an early brunch may be a perilous affair if you, like me, have an office to get to.

I was expecting Burj Al Arab-esque tack, but instead found At.mosphere’s grill restaurant to be a most handsome venue: with its polished wood panels, crisp white tablecloths, glittering glassware and low lighting, it would look good anywhere, be it on the first floor or the 122nd. As it happens, its elevated location provides a spectacular view: to see Dubai lit up at night is a sight to behold.

Not very far from the glitzy IWC Filmmaker Award at the One & Only Royal Mirage in Dubai, where Hollywood A-listers Cate Blanchett and Martin Sheen were honouring a director with the $100,000 film development prize, a very different celebration was being held at Burj Park in Downtown Dubai on Saturday night.
