09/29/2015 Sharjah - Dubai (Vereinigte Arabische Emirate UAE)

When we already 'stuck' in Dubai, a visit of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, is a must.

We were able to buy Tickets for the tour easy without any registration. Once paid we were welcomed in the lobby area with coffee from our guide. Then we went up with a fast elevator (10 meters-30 feet / second) up to the 125th floor, the lower observation deck. From there we switched to a smaller elevator and thus the last meters to the 148th floor, the highest floor accessible for tourists.

Here we had a breathtaking view of the surrounding area; up there we felt easily the fluctuating movements of the Burj Khalifa.

After photo shooting and a walk along the floor to ceiling windows we were spoiled  with drinks and sweet snacks before we went back down with a breakneck speed.

On the way back we stopped at our shipping agencies office and picked up our stamped carnet / car-passes. The cargo ship is coming tomorrow, Wednesday, to Dubai and one or two days later it is on the way, with the Deloreans in the containers, towards Mumbai.
