Burj Khalifa

This is the tallest building in the world.
And it is too!!
It appears to be a collection of glass and metal tubes, somehow lashed together with a spire on top. You can go up to the viewing area, 124 floors up, and take in the view. This is nowhere near the top. Problem is the visibility is usually crap so we haven't met anyone so far who has seen too far. The publicity for the view says that you can see over 90km on a clear day. Yeah right!






This is one of two glass/acetate models of the Burj Khalifa which are in the waiting area for the tour to the viewing area. If you book in advance it costs 100 dirhams (about $33AUD) to go up to see the view. If you don't book then you can pay 400 dirhams to go up on the next tour.

Meanwhile, back in the aquarium, Sandra gets up close to some lion fish.

There were slots at various heights in the windows for photography. There didn't appear to be any safety netting below so falling cameras could be a hazard.
