In the top of the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa

The tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa has 163 floors and is 830 meters high. To visit there are two observation decks, one in the level 124 and other in the level 148. To visit the lowest deck it costs 130 AED, that is equal to 35 US dollars. On the other hand, the highest deck cost 500 AED that means 135 US dollars. Of course I was very happy to visit the level 124. I booked online in advance because I had only 33 hours to explore Dubai. The sunrise and sunset times booking schedules are always more busy. I booked my visit for 10AM. I went with one american guy that I met in the hostel.

The building is full of records, starting by the fastest lift in the world. In exactly 60 seconds we reached the level 124. During 60 seconds the lift stays dark and lights and music make the ascension even more interesting.

The view is incredible, but I thought would be higher. The deck stays only 555 meters from the bottom. There is an exterior deck and internal area with air condition. In this level there is even a souvenir shop. You can also use one of the modern machines that identify buildings.

After I left I took a picture from the botton to register the beauty of this building.
