A View From The 124th Floor Of The Burj Khalifa:

About a couple of days ago, I went to visit the Burj Khalifa. When I went there, the enterance was temporarily closed as it was still under construction, so the "Temporary" enterance is located in the Lower Ground floor of the Dubai Mall. The Burj Khalifa is actually still under construction, even the Armani Hotel isn't even finished yet, not to mention the 160th floor is still needing some work done (the scaffolding is still there from what my sources mentioned). So here I am sitting on top of the world (Literally speaking), since the Burj Dubai Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. If you go to the Dubai Mall and get yourself a ticket, it only costs about a 100Dhs for the walk-in tour and 440Dhs for the private tour. The walk-in tour is way better because now there is simply NO tickets left for the private tour :/ .
As soon as I got my ticket, I just went into the elevator and started from the Ground floor and it took me about less than a minute to get up on to the 124th floor as the Burj Khalifa. The speed was like the airplane taking off (it was that fast). By the time I reached up to the 124th floor, the Burj had some type of telescopes where you can view the entire city, you can even view it as the following: Day, Live and Night.

Day: View the city in daylight (it's like Google Earth - Not in Live traffic)

Live: View the city in Live Traffic (cars moving, planes flying, etc..)

Night: View the city in night time (again it's like Google Earth. It's not in Live Traffic)

Also when you get upstairs on the 124th floor, you have the option of going outside on the patio, which is covered with a wooden plank floor and some metallic windows as well as some metallic Kiosks (which are closed) and you can put your hands out the metallic window and take pictures with your camera.
Other than that, when you are also upstairs, you will get to see some pictures of how they got the idea of making the Burj Khalifa and there are some models. There is also an expensive gift shop that is selling the exact things in the main gift shop downstairs but just a little more expensive. For example they are selling 700ml of water that is in a nice looking packaging and selling it for about 300Dhs. And it's only normal tap water that has been imported from London (I heard that from Gulf news).

To some it up, it was a really nice experience to go view the Burj Khalifa. So if you ever get a chance just go in and have a look at it. It costs a 100Dhs to enter. So far the Hotel of the Burj Dubai is not going to be opened till sometime on March 2010.
