Downtown Dubai is the city's most recognisable address, a dense, walkable district anchored by the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, and the Dubai Mall. The area's broad boulevards and waterfront promenades around the Burj Lake fill nightly for the Dubai Fountain show. It is the natural first base for tourists and appeals to professionals and couples who want to be at the centre of everything, though the density and tourist traffic can feel relentless.
