Last month I went to Dubai
to attend one training program. At random we decided to make a plan to visit to
Burj Khalifa. It is the tallest building in the world and is a classic example
of urban architecture. It was formerly known as Burj Dubai, but later renamed
as Burj Khalifa, after the name of UAE president.
For those who visit Dubai,
Burj Khalifa has become a must visit location. It is 828 m tall and has 163
floors. But one can go till the 124th floor of the Burj. We have booked
tickets in advance to go to the top and the cost of the ticket is 125 AED which
is affordable for the one time experience.
We reached there at around
5 pm. After some 20 minutes of waiting, it was our turn to get into the
elevator. It was a huge elevator with some music keeps playing and blue lights
were flashing inside the elevator. It took around one minute for us to reach to
the 124th floor. The fastest climb up ever in my life!!! But in that
one minute everyone in our group felt sensation in their ears due to sudden
change air pressure.

At the top, the view of
Dubai city was breathtaking. We spent around one hour there looking at the land
below and taking snaps from different angles.
In the night, we had also
explored SEGA Republic. It is situated in Dubai mall only and while doing online
booking for Burj Khalifa, you can also book tickets for SEGA Republic. It is a high – adrenaline
indoor theme park with lots of rides, games and other activities. Out of many rides,
I especially enjoyed the sonic hopper, 3D wild jungle ride and spin gear.
I am ending this blog post
from the learning; I learned from this trip:
“No dream is too big”. With continuous focus and hard work, we can achieve
anything in our lives. “So live, love
and cherish your dreams”
