It is also the centerpiece of the Gulf’s most prestigious urban development in Dubai city and should not be missed during Dubai travel. Burj in Arabic basically means ‘Tower’. So, Burj Dubai means “tower of Dubai” or “Dubai tower”. It is expected to rise up to 700 meters in height. The design of the tower was influenced by the patterns of Islamic architecture and the six petal desert flower.
