Downtown Dubai
Downtown Dubai apartment buildings, compared
Most holiday apartments in Downtown Dubai sit in a handful of residential towers around Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera and the Boulevard. The tower decides your view, your walk to the mall and the Metro, and the pool and gym you share. Start with the building, then pick the apartment.
