spanning full 3 floors of shop space
The waterfall consists of 14 silver surfers diving downwards
Seemingly jointed in the most interesting of places... :P
By 11pm, the stores are all starting to close
So that's where I left my ride!
That's all folks for the Dubai Mall!
Behold the world's tallest man made structure
Known to many as the Burj Dubai...
But it's actually called the Burj Khalifa
It's like a toothpick out of the sand!
It's so big
You can never frame it whole in a photo... :/
The front facade of the building
yup, we got the right building...
The building is home to commercial and residental apartments
Ooo fountains
Splosh splosh
Digging the view with the palms in the background
Attack of the climbing plants!
Let head up the building!
You will be greeted by a glowing Burj Khalifa model at the entrance
I feel the power!
Around the display are the building's milestones
All shown with an interactive display
The numbers don't lie, and command respect. :3
So many zeros!
After the pre-tour security checks...
we were treated to an animated travelator showcase
Pinpointing various milestones of the building
Such as it's construction process
Mmm twitlight...
The Burj Khalifa is a very proud center piece
Not only for the UAE but to the world as well
We will be heading up there!
There is much emphasis of it's construction process
With timeline footage showing it's various states of construction
Inter-connected it is.
A bold move to take on the whole world
Behold the fastest elevators in the world!
And we are at the top!
So as the sign says. :3
Catching the sunlight from over 120 floors up
Views are Jeff approved!
What did I DO to the SUN?
An aerial view of the palace
The central business area
The Arabian Gulf in the distance
They have these awesome high powered telescopes
Which are like DEATH RAYS!
Everyone's smaller than ants!
