The Burj Khalifa
The Burj Khalifa dominates the Dubai skyline, and it is a must for every visitor to the city to visit its observation deck for an aerial view. My first visit left me breathless and excited; my second visit, tired. The winter months bring more tourists to the city, which result in long cues, especially at sunset when it is the most spectacular to visit, even when booking in advance. I have sworn that the only way I will ever again visit the Burj Khalifa would be to have a meal at At.mosphere, two stories below the observation deck.

I’m in Dubai myself for a month (working on a communications project at Dubai Women’s College/ HCT) and share your philosophy on immersing one’s self in the local culture.
Enjoy your time in Dubai Richard. It certainly is a vibrant city.
