The city Dubai has become the first choice for those who want to invest in real estate properties. In Dubai there is a continuous process of growth and opportunities in the real estate market. The quick returns of the investment and the rental guarantee are some of the factors that have attracted the numerous investors in Dubai real estate market. If there is a product that has demand, then the market has to supply that product. Actually, it is a city that fills your all demands.

The groundbreaking changes which are taking place in the real estate market of Dubai are absolutely amazing. If you consider it closely at the details of evolving constructions and properties in the growing market of Dubai, you must become wordless. It looks as if all these towers and communications are coming out of thin air.

The luxury and the fashionable constructions mark the Dubai real estate properties. In fact some of the areas such as Discovery Gardens, International City and Dubai Sports City have become world famous for the luxurious properties.

So, if you’re looking to buy properties in Dubai then you should take into your considerations such places as Palm Jumeirah and Palm Jebel Ali signature villas, garden homes, garden villas, water homes and shoreline apartments which are the fastest moving properties on the local market here at the moment.

Many investors, however, believe that it is better to invest the accumulated capital of a person in the growing areas such as Las Vegas and New York. They believe that real estate investment there means to get high returns. But there are also some shortcomings in doing business in Paris, Las Vegas, New York or even London. For doing business in those places you have to pay excessive amount of money. You will have to pay up for various things like buying the land, interpreting foreign ownership and tax laws and other costs related to real estate investments.

But in respect of these costs you will have great benefits in Dubai. But in respects of the communication facilities as well as other modern amenities the city has also great offers. At Dubai you will have easy access of airport, luxury entertainments, a great landscape and all the amenities that a hotel with international standards has and what the luxury residents would desire to have. For these reasons Dubai is a dream city for the property investors.

If you have a little idea about the Dubai real estate properties you may have heard the names of such properties as the Palm Islands, The World, Dubai Marina, Dubai Waterfront, Business Bay, Dubai land and The Burj Dubai Complex. These properties are home to skyscrapers such as Emirates Towers and the Burj al-Arab. The Burj al-Arab is located on offshore property in the Persian Gulf. The Burj al-Arab is currently the tallest hotel in the world. Another well-known property in Dubai is the Business Bay. The new business district is to be home to five hundred skyscrapers, all of which are going to be built on land that was lifted from the Dubai Creek.

So consider investing in Dubai property or you may lose the chance forever.

For Investors in Dubai this has become a Mecca for financial growth. The property market has seen a huge rise over the last 4 years and remains a great area to invest in.

Dubai has become a very hot spot for tourists around the globe for the cosmopolitan culture of the city and luxury, life style, deserts, sand beaches and for other activities that catches one’s attention towards the city. Dubai now has offices of, approximately, every big multinational company due to the business opportunity provided by the city. Moreover, strategical location of the city works in its favor, which is ideal for a business.

 

But recent development in Dubai in last decade is exceptional, especially, in real state sector, medicine, transport, infrastructure; no area of life has remained untouched with the development. In tourism, there is no match for Dubai, as it is located at pristine location on the shore of Arabia Gulf to view vast expense of Sea. The stunning beaches of Dubai provide ideal spot to relax oneself with beach fun and sunbathing. The other jewels to Dubai are its silver deserts that will attract a tourist from any corner of the world towards it. Shopping festivals and shopping malls where tax free goods are sold is other added advantage when traveling Dubai.

 

To accommodate the vast number of tourists visiting the city, it has witnessed a vast development in the hospitality sector, virtually, in hotel industry. Now every big hotel chain has its presence in Duabi. The only known 7 Star hotel Bruj-Al-Arab is located in Dubai. There are also a good number of luxurious five star hotels are located in Dubai. However categorization of the hotel in five star categories depends on the facilities provided by it. As better is the hotel in luxury as higher would be its ranking. In some countries they have their own professional bodies to award star classification to the hotels after assessing their services.

 

In Dubai, many five standard quality five star hotels are located. In the series of hotels Grand Hyatt Dubai is located five miles away from Dubai International Airport. It is a 16 floor hotel with nearly 674 hotel rooms. Another important five star hotel in Dubai is Hilton Dubai Creek that is located at Dubai Creek; it is 18 floor hotels with 154 rooms. The other important hotels of repute in Dubai of five star reputations are Dubai Marine Beach Resort and Spa, Hyatt Regency Dubai, Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Dusit Thani Dubai.

 

All the five star hotels equipped with state of the art facilities like fitness equipment, sauna, outdoor pool, children’s pool, complimentary continental breakfast, Coffee Shop, Restaurants, internet facilities, currency exchange, babysitting, and 24-hour front desk service and every possible comfort that adeptly fit them into the five star hotel categories.

Andrew Regan asked:


The United States was once synonymous with having the largest incarnation of just about anything you could think of - whether it was the world’s largest ball of string or the tallest free-standing structure on the planet. However, out of the top ten current tallest buildings in the world, Uncle Sam has only two structures, neither of which sits in the top slot. That honour is held by Taiwan, whose Taipei 101 structure measures a lofty 509m in height, almost 70m taller than Chicago’s Sears Tower, the United States’ tallest building.

While Taiwan can claim to have the world’s largest industrial building, Dubai can lay claim to having the world’s tallest hotel. In fact, Dubai is home to three out of the top ten world’s tallest hotels with the Rose Tower - despite still being under construction - the tallest at a height of 333 metres. When construction began, the Rose Tower was supposed to reach 380 metres - the height of the Empire State Building. However, design modifications led to its projected height being reduced, and while it is still under construction, the honour of tallest hotel is unofficial.

Pyongyang, the capital city of North Korea is home to what would have been the second tallest hotel, the Ryugyong Hotel. With 105 stories rising to a height of 330 metres, the Ryugong Hotel is a towering, empty concrete shell, which has stood unfinished since 1992. With no windows, fixtures or fittings ever being installed, the basic structure is complete but has never been surveyed for safety and some believe the structure to be unsafe due to the use of poor quality building materials.

As a result, travellers looking to stay in the world’s tallest operable hotels should head back to Dubai, where they’ll be able to stay in the third and fourth tallest hotel structures in the world: the Burj-al-Arab and the Jumeirah Emirates Towers. The Burj-al-Arab has 60 guest floors, stands at 321 metres tall and is constructed on an artificial island that is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. Construction of the Burj-al-Arab began in 1994 and was built to resemble the sail of a dhow - a type of Arabian sea vessel.

The Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel is a 56-floor five-star business hotel in Dubai which stands at a height of 309 metres and is the 29th tallest currently-standing structure in the world. The Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel is also referred to as Emirates Tower Two and is connected to the 54-floor Emirates Office Tower by a retail boulevard and together the two structures form the Emirates Towers complex, which is complete with lakes, waterfalls, public seating areas and has ample car parking space for up to 1800 cars.

Although renowned for its sand, sun, and shopping, Dubai is fast becoming world famous for its architectural audacity and breathtaking structures. Today, shiny new skyscrapers reflect the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai while some of the world’s tallest structures - hospitality and industry alike - dominate the Dubai skyline.

Chris Murphy asked:


Jumeirah owns the Emirates Towers hotel, the Jumeirah Beach hotel, the Madinat group of hotels, which includes Mina A Salam, Al Qasr & the Madinat Souk which houses the largest swimming pool in the Middle East. Jumeirah also owns the amazing desert hotel, Bab Al Shams, located in the desert with sand dunes rolling from its perimeters and making a fantastic landscape for the falcon shows and camel riding they offer.

All Jumeirah hotels have amazing architecture and are worth a visit for this alone. This, together with their famous customer service values, makes them a great choice for visitors to Dubai. For a true taste of Arabia, visit the Madinat Souk, part of the Madinat and Mina A Salam complex located on Jumeirah beach. This resort offers 42 restaurants overlooking the Burj Al Arab and each is situated on the edge of their very own canal. Watch the dhows transport the hotel guests around this vast complex on their waterways and lagoon. It really is a beautiful spot for a sundowner or a meal incorporating food from all over the world.

There are many other famous branded hotels in Dubai, from The One and Only Royal Mirage to Hiltons, Sheratons (both beach and airport locations), the Kempinski Group, Shangri La Group and Crown Plaza among many others. Most hotels are at 5 star standard, however there are some lower cost hotels such as the 4 star Al Manzil hotel, located behind the world’s tallest building the Burj Dubai nestling in its own Arabian style architecture and complementing the huge sky rise buildings surrounding it.

The Grosvenor House hotel located in Dubai Marina is a fantastic venue for staying or visiting their restaurants and bars. Have a drink in Bar 44 located on the 44th floor of the hotel and offering amazing views of the Marina area, and then take the express lift down to the fabulous Buddha Bar for a fusion of Thai and international cuisine.

All 5 star hotels in Dubai have pools, gyms and restaurant facilities with many offering spa areas as well. Of course the crème de la crème of spa facilities has to be located within the 7 star hotels of the Burj Al Arab, where reservations are recommended and the environment is so much part of the treatment you will never want to leave!

Many hotels also offer apartment facilities so if you are here longer term and want to experience more of the home comforts, these are a great option.

Other companies capitalizing on the huge tourism market here are with their Versace Palazzo hotel and the Trump Towers hotel (located on the famous Palm Island). Versace should be opening its doors to the international elite during 2008 with the Trump Tower hotel opening scheduled to be around early 2010.

Ranging from amazing desert hotels, luxury beach hotels and fantastic corporate hotels in the city, Dubai offers an eclectic mix to choose from. However, all are within close proximity of all tourist facilities, shopping malls and attractions as well as its fantastic beaches - you can’t go far wrong with any location. Most city business hotels located along Sheikh Zayed road also have affiliations with beach hotels and will transport you to the beach during your stay.

The tallest building ranked by height in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is the seventy-four story Almas Tower, which is almost twelve hundred feet tall. Construction on the Almas Tower, also known as Diamond Tower began three years ago, and is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. The tower, situated on a faux island in the Jumeirah Lake Towers project, was designed by the same company responsible for most of the JLT development, Atkin Middle East. Award-winning Taisei Corporation out of Japan will be responsible for construction of the tower. When complete, the highly secure Almas Tower will be home to diamond cutting and exchanging.

The tallest building that is already standing in Dubai is the Emirates Office Tower, also referred to as Emirates Tower One, which is fifty-four stories and almost twelve hundred feet tall and connects to the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel to form the Emirates Towers complex, is located along the Sheikh Zayed Road. The Emirates Office tower is at present time is the world’s fifteenth tallest building.

The Rose Tower, seventy-two stories and just under eleven hundred feet, can be found on Sheikh Zayed Road. Construction on the Rose Tower began four years ago and was anticipated to be opened in April of this year, however, at present time it remains unopened. Once the tower is open for business, it will be the tallest hotel in the world, Rose Rotana Suites.

Another Dubai skyscraper that deserves recognition is the luxury hotel, Burj Al Arab, which is the city’s fourth tallest skyscraper. The Burj Al Arab will hold the title of world’s tallest hotel until the opening of the Rose Tower. The Burj Al Arab is located on a manmade island just over nine hundred feet of the coast of Jumeirah beach and connects to the mainland via private bridge. The design of the Burj Al Arab is intended to simulate a boat’s sail.

The biggest and most renowned development project currently under construction in Dubai is the Burj Dubai, which broke ground four years ago. The structure, designed to be at least one hundred sixty-two stories and almost twenty-seven hundred feet tall, came to be the world’s tallest freestanding land structure in the fall of last year. It surpasses CN Tower in Toronto, Canada. The structure also surpasses Taipei 101, which is presently the world’s tallest building. However, only completed buildings count, so the Burj Dubai will not be officially given the title of the world’s tallest building until it is completed next year. In April of this year, the Burj Dubai became the highest standing manmade structure in the world, towering over the KVLY mast, located in Blanchard, North Dakota in the United States. The Burj Dubai will be the tallest manmade structure ever constructed when it passes the height what used to be the Warsaw radio mast located in Konstantynow, Gabin in Poland, which is just over twenty-one hundred feet tall.

The Al Burj is just one more tremendously tall building proposed for construction in Dubai. Designed to be close to four thousand feet tall it would surpass the Burj as the tallest structure in the world when it is constructed.
