• Best Hotel Tower:
Burj Al Arab. Designed to resemble the billowing sail of an Arabian dhow, the iconic Burj Al Arab extends 321m (1,053 ft.) to the sky.
• Best Skyscraper:
Burj Dubai. The world’s tallest building, Burj Dubai dominates the skyline with its thin silver steel structure and can be seen for miles.
• Best Man-Made Islands:
The Palm Islands. The three artificial islands shaped like palm trees sit off the coast of Dubai and are considered by some to be an Eighth Wonder of the World.
• Best Traditional House:
Heritage House. Like other structures of its time, this 1890 Arabian home was made with coral and gypsum and has a central courtyard surrounded by rooms, some of which face the sea.
