View from Burj Khalifa, Dubai
About
On Friday I woke up early to visit the world's tallest building. I had heard that the queues are shorter the earlier you go and it looks like arriving before 9am was a good choice. There was no queue at all and plenty of room to wander around and take photos once inside.
This photo was taken from the 145th floor by my father and is still twenty floors from the top. To go to the very top you need a premium ticket and we only had the normal ones (thanks dad). It was a relatively clear day and the city below looked like a lego village from above. In addition to being inside the world's tallest building it must have also been my fastest ever elevator journey. It only took about 35 seconds to go from the lobby to level 144 and my ears even popped during the descent.
