A Day at the Burj Khalifa



Spent the day at the Dubai Mall, which includes the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa.  It stands at over 2716ft (828M) tall and is the tallest building in the world. The image above shows it lit up at night. They have lights embedded in the building which combine with lasers to provide an incredible show. For the first time, I noticed they displayed video on the facades of this iconic structure!

Started our day at the Museum of the Future (below).  Probably the single coolest building in Dubai.  The exterior is inscribed in Arabic poetry, written by the Sheik.  Translated, it states . . . “We might not live for hundreds of years but the products of our creativity can leave a legacy long after we are gone.”  It lights up at night and glows from the inside out.

Moved on the the Dubai Mall afterward, where we spent our day.  Finally got our Julie/Greg pic with the Burj in the background!


We ended the day with Abra boat rides within the Dubai Fountain after sunset, along with an incredible dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant Bice Mare, overlooking it all
