Dubai and the Burj Khalifa
Dubai is a phenomenal city. The intense modernity of the city alone is worth the visit with its soaring skyscrapers, theme-park like shopping malls and manmade islands that stretch out into the Persian Gulf. But the star of the show is the Burj Khalifa, which has a lengthy list of accolades including being the world's tallest building, the tallest freestanding structure in the world, the world’s highest observation deck, and the world’s longest elevator. We suggest taking a trip up to the observation deck for the most awe-inspiring vistas across the rooftops and clouds of Dubai.
