Thursday 28th February 2013 +4.0 hrs GMT: Dubai, United Arab Emirates ­ An Appointment with a Big Bus ­ The Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa Tower.

A consolation of missing the Dubai Fountains was that I eventually found my way out to the terrace that is directly below the Burj Khalifa Tower, which holds the following records  – but I should say at present – the tallest building in the world at over 800 (2625 feet) comprising 160 floors; tallest free standing structure; highest number of floors, highest number of occupied floors (Including an Armani Hotel); the highest outdoor observation deck; the elevator with the longest travel and the tallest service lift. If I had had time I would have ventured up to the observation deck on level 124 but that will have to await another visit.

So ended a long day having been up at 4.00am for the Balloon Trip!
