I Want To Visit Burj Khalifa - Pictures Are Amazing
Look at it, isn't it magnificent. It is located in the fast growing city of Dubai, UAE. While Burj Khalifa pictures can be found everywhere, I want to take my own. I recently was challenged to write a bucket list - a simple list of the 10 things I hope to do in my lifetime, and a visit to Burj Khalifa is most definitely on the list. And while I am in Dubai, wouldn't it be nice to stay at the world's first (and currently only) seven star hotel, the Burj Al Arab Hotel.

My very hobby for visit & live this Building But I have not enough money.pls help me . 01741454824
ThomasGeleta says:
definitely keep it on
DanielleNay says:
Definitely keep it on the list! And when you do visit, make sure to book in advance for At The Top, the observation deck experience. Best time to visit is before sunset; that way you get the daylight, sunset and evening view all in one go. On the adjacent floor is a fantastic cocktail bar called at:mosphere - if you want to go there you must a) dress up and b) book. I live in Dubai and generally take visitors to the bar at at:mosphere INSTEAD of the Observation Deck. The price works out about the same!

Momsbusy247 says:

Don't Forget A Tour Book
I am a huge fan of Lonely Planet tour books when I travel. I haven't use this one yet, but as soon as I get to visit Dubai, it will be with me. How else will I learn how to bargain for bling, or where to get gold?

What's Stopping Me?
Why is it on my bucket list, rather than my "places I have been" list
Interesting question that I ask myself. And when I stop and think about it the truth would be nothing other than lack of planning. Our favorite airline is Emirates flys non-stop from Auckland to Dubai, but also allows Dubai as a free stop over on another trip. Maybe it is time to tick two items off my bucket list at once. I just need to move this trip to the top of the priority list and away I go. Learn More About Burj Khalifa

- Very nice lens with cool pictures. My fiance and I were actually just talking about the Burj Khalifa the other day. They use it in the newest Mission Impossible movie. I wouldn't mind going to visit one day, just to take pictures and to say that I went. Thanks for sharing
