Bhurj Khalifa & Dubai mall
Dubai has now the bragging rights of having the tallest building ever in the world .
One needs to book a time slot to expreince the breathtaking 360 view of the entire dubai from the 126th floor of the bhurj Khalifa , and our was at 12.30 pm .
There is quite big line to just enter the lift which takes you to the 126 floor , and to be very honest it at times moves slowly and is quite irritating
.
Finally you enter the lift and some wonderful ambient music is played while the display in the lift very fast increases from 0-126 its I think not even a min that you are on the 126 floor . The lifts are just super fast .
Once you enter the deck you see a huge glass area through which you see the entire Dubai . My wife like all others was very excited and was taking many pictures . Since the deck is circular in shape you can walk all around the deck and enjoy the 360 degree view of dubai and beyond .
After spending some 20 mins there , we headed back to the lift which again in less then 1 min took as to the lowest level .
The Bhurj Khalifa and dubai mall are inter linked to each other so our next visit was there means a perfect way to reduce your bank balance
.
Dubai mall is beautiful and a host for all top class brands including a Armani cafeteria. We did have a nice time shopping and then having a nice huge cheesecake in Cheesecake Factory in the mall which is quite full and had a waiting of 45 mins for a table for 2 .
Dubai mall also has a beautiful aquarium which has some real exotic fish inside . We made some pics there too .
But the most interesting place in dubai mall is the parking area infront of the mall which commands some very very expensive premiuim to park your car and is generally " show your car " place for the rich and famous of dubai mainly the Arabs .
Cars mostly parked there are range rovers , ferraris , jaguar , porshe and many high end cars .
Posting now some pics of bhurj Khalifa , dubai mall , aquarium and some drool worthy cars parked in the parking place along with 1 pic of me and my wife .
