A beacon of luxury, innovation, and larger-than-life experiences, Dubai is a truly spellbinding city which is also the holder of some truly amazing world records like those mentioned below.
The World’s Tallest Building

What you may be unaware of is that this stunning structure holds many more records too; these include featuring the elevator with the longest travel distance and the world’s highest outdoor observation deck!
First Unmanned Floating Smart Police Station
In June 2023, Dubai launched the world’s very first unmanned floating smart police station. Operated by Dubai Police HQ, this novel police station is open 24/7 and is located on the sea within easy reach of another modern marvel, the Dubai World Islands; hotel properties the likes of Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort can be found on this archipelago which has around 260 artificial islands that are grouped to form a world map!
The Largest Fountain in the World
One of the most spectacular sights you will see in Dubai at night is the Palm Fountain which also happens to be the largest fountain on the globe. It can be found at The Pointe on the artificial island called Palm Jumeirah; the fountain covers an area of around 14,000 square metres and features more than 3,000 multicoloured LED lights, synchronised music and water being shot up to 105 metres in the air!
