Burj Khalifa and Dubai part 2

This the Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world at 2716.5 feet. It hosts the Armani Hotel, residences, corporate offices and a 4 story gym. Outside it host a water park as you can see from the photo below. 
The view below is from the observation deck at 124th story. The elevator went up at 10 meters per second. 
 

 Views from the top - looks like Vegas!
 The water fountains at ground level.
 Jumeriah Mosque
 The Burj Khalifa during the daytime - just a little smog and humid as it was 105-10 with about 100% humidity.

Inside the Dubai Mall



Hey Look - in case you had a fascination and not wanting to leave the comforts of America - there is Fridays (and others such as Starbucks).

Dubai Part 1

 
 After a 15 hour flight from Seattle to Dubai, Krissa and I hit the sack for the night. We got up early and made our way to Dubai Creek and took an abra (old boat) the souks.
 This is Dubai - old and new. Abra and jet boat.
