Dubai 13: At the top
29 November 2009
Day and night view of the Address hotel from the observatory deck on the Burj Dubai’s 124th floor. Now looking the other way around:
The best thing about this tower are its terraces. With teck flooring like a sumptuous backyard deck, the visitor can simply stroll its way outside, glancing at an unobstructed view of the surroundings*, glass panels circumscribing the deck being your only protection to the winds and laws of gravity. You’re at 450m off the ground, with nothing above your head.
* The only problem with Dubai is “surroundings”, for the most part, still rimes with “desert”.
