Soaring 828 metres above Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is currently the world’s tallest building. It’s a mix of art, engineering, and heritage, with office space, private residences, and a luxury hotel inside. Visitors head to the observation decks on the 124th and 148th floors for sweeping city views, and you’ll also find over a thousand specially commissioned artworks scattered throughout the tower. Even from the ground, the sheer scale and design of the building make it impossible to ignore.

The Basilica of Saint Sernin, Europe's largest Romanesque church, is home to the tomb of Saint Sernin, a bishop and martyr who played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity in Toulouse. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this magnificent basilica is a must-visit destination that boasts impressive ceilings and marble decorations that serve as a testament to its illustrious history, including its significant role as a pilgrimage site.

The Bahrain World Trade Center is one of the country’s most recognisable landmarks and a defining feature of its skyline. The complex is open to the public, where you can admire its striking architecture, explore the popular MODA Mall, or dine in its restaurants. The twin towers are connected by three skybridges, each fitted with a wind turbine, an innovative feature that harnesses the strong Gulf winds. On breezy days, you can often see them turning. Frequently featured on postcards and travel guides, this building has become a modern symbol of Bahrain.
