Burj Khalifa- Dubai, UAE


The Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest tower and is an amazing feat of engineering. It is the highest viewing platform in the world. This observatory is destined to be the highlight of any visit to the Middle East. The journey begins from the lower ground level of The Dubai Mall. Throughout the journey to the top, visitors are entertained by a multi-media presentation of the exotic history of Dubai and the marvel which is the Burj Khalifa.

Skyscrapers don't get any taller than Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure on the planet and 19th of the world's top landmarks for 2015. Soaring 2,717 feet (828 meters) high, the building has a stepped design that narrows as it climbs to the sky-bringing a new meaning to the term skyscraper. Ride the elevator to the 124th floor Observation Deck for astounding views over Dubai & the Arabian Gulf.
