Giant 19.28-metre letters on a Hajar Mountain ridge — the world's tallest landmark sign, taller than Hollywood's, reachable only on foot.
LOVE ME
Richard Hudson's five-metre mirror-polished heart, aligned so the Burj Khalifa lands on its surface.

An Arabesque 'sailor's market' of stone arches and lanterns on Burj Lake, linked to Dubai Mall by a bridge with the best fountain view.
The Waterfall (Human Waterfall)
A four-storey indoor cascade of diving figures — Dubai's pearl-diving past, cast in fibreglass and falling water.
