Mexico Wings Dubai Mall
Trinidad Baltzell
The Wings of Mexico in Dubai is a sculpture that stands in front of the iconic Burj Khalifa. Created by Mexican artist Jorge Marin, these wings are showing up on Instagram and social media around the world! So where is this metal wing sculpture in Dubai? Keep reading to access one of the most Instagrammable spots in all of Dubai!
Recently, Dubai has seemed to focus a lot more attention on the arts, as well. From the stunning Museum of the Future to the impressively-constructed Dubai Frame to the small art galleries I see popping up, I am in full support of this.
This sculpture features a thin metal frame with large, life-sized, mounted wings atop a tiered platform. Wings of Mexico is meant to be interactive. Viewers are allowed to climb the three steps up to the platform and stand in front of the iconic angel wings.
By Taxi or Uber: In Dubai, neither taking taxis nor Uber are as cheap as I would prefer, but they are still a great option to get downtown. They are also great ways to avoid traffic or parking hassles.
By Shuttle: Many hotels in Dubai have a shuttle service that runs directly to the Dubai Mall. Check if your hotel offers this before hiring a taxi! The Wings are walkable from there.
By Car: Click the map above for specific directions to the plaza from your hotel or starting point. There is an underground parking very close to the sculpture. If you are facing the sculpture, the parking garage entrance is to the left, less than a block away.
Typically about half the price of the Address, the Manzil Hotel still offers beautiful architecture and a peaceful outdoor pool and seating area. This hotel feels very much high end, but not outrageous in price. Guests can enjoy 24 hour gym access, a business center, and a Mediterranean Restaurant on site. And, you still get great city views!
The most reasonably priced for such a central location, the Hotel Indigo is surrounded by city views of the gorgeous Dubai skyline. The hotel is stylishly decorated, with colorful accents and Dubai-themed murals on the walls. This hotel offers a fitness room, outdoor swimming pool, continental or buffet breakfast, and also allows pets. This is one of the best bargains so close to the center of the city.
For another beautiful but more nature-themed spot, check out the Dubai Miracle Garden. Never-ending floral sculptures line the grounds here and it is quite the sight to see in the middle of the desert city.
