I am back again after two months hiatus. This time, with a trip to Dubai. No trip to Dubai will EVER be completed if you do not visit the Burj Khalifa, well the tallest tower in the world. With a height of 829.8m, the building was officially opened in the year 2010. Thanks to a fellow Malaysian travel blogger, Ramble and Wander for the tips he has given to me. The 163 floor tower was mainly constructed by Samsung Engineering and Construction Company .
be sure to purchase your ticket online to get to the observatory tower. The online price is about 135 AED which is about 40USD at http://www.burjkhalifa.ae/en/ . Time is allocated for entering the tower. For this case i chose the earliest which is at 4.30am as the sun will rise at 5.30am. The entrance is at the lower ground of Dubai Mall, the largest shopping mall in the world |

once you have entered and scan your ticket, you will be brought to another section by an escalator with video presentation along the way |

From the Earth to the Sky! |
the elevator is one heck of the coolest ever with lots of lightings and designs |
The following photos are the photos shot from the observation deck which is situated at the 124th floor
This night shot was taken early in the morning at 415am |
