Besides Burj Khalifa, what other skyscrapers are worth seeing?

Dubai is renowned for its unique skyline, and besides the Burj Khalifa, there are many other impressive skyscrapers. The Burj Al Arab is a luxurious hotel shaped like a sail, standing on an artificial island. I couldn’t miss the opportunity to have a cup of tea there while enjoying the sea views. The Emirates Towers are two elegant skyscrapers reflecting sunlight and symbolizing the city’s business prowess. The Cayan Tower, also known as the “twisted tower,” rotates 90 degrees from base to top, creating a stunning visual effect. Walking along Dubai Marina, I was amazed by the architectural diversity and boldness of the design solutions.
