The Dubai construction boom never ceases to exist. The architects and builders first used each land to build magnanimous entertainment paradises and when they ran out of land; the ocean was at stake. Dubai’s passion for thinking outside the box pushed all boundaries when it built the Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world. The panoramic view offered by the imposing structure might make you nervous, but still, the view from the observation deck is an unforgettable memory that could last for centuries. It is such an overwhelming feeling to know that human creativity has surpassed all levels of imagination.
Discover fascinating facts as you unravel the various high points of the Burj Khalifa. The magnanimous man-made structure is truly appreciated only if you witness Dubai through the eyes of Burj Khalifa. Called ‘At the Top’, tourists are taken to Level 124, where they experience Dubai in its true spirit. You will know what the world is like seen from a hundred floors above. It awakens a state of weightlessness and recognition of the “One”. Magically, everything that seemed so hulking on land becomes a perfectly designed little replica on a desert playground.
From the moment you leave the Dubai Mall to begin your journey to the observation deck, every moment presents you with new emerging technology. The high-speed elevators, glass ceiling walls, impressive height, and overall opulence transcend the virtual feel of an alien colony, but man-made. Star Trek was just a movie, but if there’s one thing that could get that close to reality, it would have to be Burj Khalifa.
The tour on the observation deck lasts up to an hour during which tourists have the opportunity to see Dubai through special telescopes with close-up views in real time. They could also buy a souvenir or two before they go back.
Burj Khalifa is a great destination in downtown Dubai whose residences and office spaces are open to only an elite few. Currently, it houses the Armani Hotel, the first hotel in the world developed and designed by Giorgio Armani himself. While the observation deck experience may leave you overwhelmed, don’t miss the impressive performances at Burj Khalifa Park and the Dubai Fountain.
Reports are coming in of China building a tower taller than Burj Khalifa in just 90 days. It might be taller, but would it be comparable to the Burj Khalifa in terms of design, popularity, and architecture? Only time will tell.
