Atlantis The Palm, has been named the most iconic destination resort in Dubai, after becoming the third most snapped hotel on Instagram in the world and most Instagrammed hotel in the Middle East.
The results were revealed in Instagram’s Year in Review 2015, which proved well and truly that we’re living in a digital age. Since 2010 (when Instagram was born), the humble, traditional photo album has been replaced with digital galleries.
With that in mind we reveal the most popular Insta-worthy spots in town. Here are the top 10 most hashtagged locations in Dubai.
