This tour begins from inside Dubai Mall and finds its way via Souk Al Bahar into Burj Plaza and onto the Dubai Opera complex. Along with elements of design considerations that went into building Downtown Dubai, this tour showcases us architectural genius of Burj Khalifa, the Walk of Stars, the Dubai Fountain, and the dhow-shaped Opera building.
