Dubai continues to record remarkable growth in the tourism sector, supported by exceptional levels of quality of life and security. According to the Department of Economy and Tourism, the emirate received approximately 9.88 million international visitors in the first half of 2025, marking a 6% growth compared to the same period in 2024.
Dubai is enhancing its position in the world of hospitality by owning eight of the ten tallest hotels in the world. These include: "Jewel" (365 meters), JW Marriott Marquis Dubai (355 meters), Rose Rayhaan by Rotana (333 meters), Burj Al Arab (321 meters), Jumeirah Emirates Towers (309 meters), Address Resort (301 meters), and Tower Plaza (294 meters). This reflects the emirate's passion for mega-projects and its continued excellence in the global tourism sector.
In a new step that reflects this approach, the "Ciel Dubai Marina" hotel officially welcomed its guests, and it is now classified as the tallest hotel in the world.
The hotel, which stands at 377 meters, has set a new record, surpassing the "Jewel" hotel, also located in Dubai, which is 365 meters tall. According to "The National" newspaper, the construction cost of the tower was approximately 2 billion UAE dirhams. The tower has 82 floors, including 1004 hotel rooms and suites.
