Burj Khalifa, Dubai

Finally, the day arrived when we'll see the tallest building in the world.

Every time we drove on the streets of Dubay I want to take a photo. It was not easy. You never find a right spot. One time you're too far away, next time you're too close. Or maybe some other buildings are on your way.

This was the best one I could get.

We bought tickets online. It's much cheaper, but you need to book a couple days in advance.

You need to be there an hour earlier to check in and undergo a security check. Like on the airport.

Before you reach elevators you go through a hallway where you can see all details how they build the whole area. It's very interesting.

Elevator travels at 10 m/s and you reach 124th floor quite fast.

The lift boy said: welcome on top, and that was it.

Enjoy:

But when you look up you can see this. Another 40 storeys.

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmTaqcuXQ7c95hLPGU4ymwZPPZt9sCU8iZzb8AVpDAEX5D/DSCN9778.JPG]

We stayed there about an hour and I can't describe the feelings. There is no way to do it. You need to be there.

It was a bit hazy and I know that photos are a crappy, but how many people can show you something like this?

Back on a groud level.

Tomorrow is Sunday. Don't waste it on steemit. Go out. It's summer time.

Asia has China and Russia which are booming now for at least 12-15 years. So they don't have to come here.

Great eye, I love visiting Dubai such an extravagant city. If you have time, I would recommend a trip to Musandam Peninsula. Its only about a 2 and a half hr drive and they have tour guides who you can book with. Check it out especially if you like to take photographs. Cheers.

I think the photos from the top are really nice ! I have been in a tall building in Shanghai, don't know if it's the third tallest, but either way it's tall. I have been up there a few times but it has been very hazy, actually smoggy might be the right word for It! I never was able to get as clear pictures as these.

Just watched Mayweather vs McGregor, millions there, millions and billions here if I watch your photos, and the young generation millions of people that cant afford a simple apartment to create a family, yeah that is the World we have. however, nice photos, thanks for sharing.

My advice to young generation; there are a lot of opportunities out there. Get off your smartphones and find them.

@twister | Aug. 27, 2017, 5:37 p.m. | Votes: 1 | [ VOTE ]

Happening, many young brain escaping abroad. It is sure a valid point that youngs need to do something about their lives but it is also truth that older generations especially in Slovenia are well protected and covered by political parties, because there is where the votes are coming from. Very simple and very wrong, if you ask me.

@oldtimer | Aug. 28, 2017, 3:19 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Good point. That's exactly why I and my family moved out.

Maybe this saying can become international as well ! I also think that people are becoming a bit too comfortable and less pro active due to smart phones!

Wow unbelievable. I couldn't even imagine how that would look in person. Just think if somebody was scared of heights how insane it would be if they were on the top floor of that building!

Dubai is really impressive indeed! I've got the chance to be there for 10 days in 2015, it's was just awesome! So many huge wonderfully designed buildings everywhere!
Crazy to say it, but I did not have time to visit Burj Khalifa!!

When I climbed Burj, there was a strong sandstorm going on. We couldn't see more than 100m. :) They serve awesome fish in the restaurant by the fountain. Strongly recommended!
