Dubai - Sheikh Zayed Road

Sheikh Zayed Road runs parallel with the coast and is the modern business district of Dubai. Sheikh Zayed Road is an eight-lane highway with many modern buildings lining both sides.

The buildings along Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai vary in architectural design but consist mainly of towers built of glass, chrome and steel.

The main attraction of Sheikh Zayed Road is the section between the roundabout and the first intersection. This section features striking views of high-rise hotels, apartments and offices. For the longest time the Dubai World Trade Center was the tallest building in Dubai and a major landmark but since the 1990s, taller and grander buildings overshadow it.
