Flying over Dubai, a few landmarks are notable. The artificial islands comprise Palm Jumeirah, a residential development. The distinctive building in the upper right resembling a sail is the Burj Al Arab, an outrageously expensive hotel -- on the dates a couple of weeks out that I checked, the cheapest nightly rates were around US$2000.
One can stay in a hotel in the Burj Khalifa for a third the price. That's the tallest building in the world, and as it's 15km away from here, it wasn't visible at this scale.
