Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has toured Burj Khalifa and other tourist and business areas in Dubai. He climbed to the 124th floor in Khalifa Burj, where he viewed the landmarks of Dubai City, expressing his admiration about the progress of the UAE in general and Dubai in particular, thanks to the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

In Dubai, a View From the Burj Khalifa

The other attractions within the Burj Khalifa have an air of glamour that visitors have come to expect from Dubai. Elevating its sleek factor: the Armani hotel and spa, which opened last spring at the tower’s base. The attention to detail and luxury is evident in chocolate-colored décor and a spa offering part- and full-day sessions, an outdoor pool and various treatments.

Visitors can travel to what is known as “At the Top” which isn’t really at the top but more like level 124. For those in a hurry, and who want to travel immediately, you’ll have to donate $133 to maintaining the building’s upkeep. If you can wait for a specifically dated and timed access, it will only cost $34, with virtually no discount for kids. Atmosphere Restaurant on the 122nd floor could be a better option as you can enjoy a meal with the view.

As Playmrn Balgoev lined up the world’s tallest tower in his camera’s viewfinder, he wondered what Dubai looked like from the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old tourist from Bulgaria will leave the emirate without finding out.
