Despite checking the spelling on his ticket he still managed to miss that the auto correct had changed Burj to Burt

I worked with a Burt Khalifa in Libya .....

Nice view.
I try to use the stairs as much as possible but in this case I might have to give in to the lift!

That place has changed a bit since I last visited in 1965.

You wouldn't get me up there. I get dizzy on a thick carpet, but I'm just a wimp. Strange though that I don't mind flying !

It's unnerving when looking down. More so when your on the outside deck and you can feel it swaying

I bet the window cleaner isn't too happy either

They were cleaning windows on one of the lower floors as we arrived. Apparently it takes 3 months to do them all and then they start again.

Stunning place.

And they don't use platforms - just dangle from a rope!
Bit of a dog if you drop the sponge

I was working out there during part of the build phase. As each week passed you'd think it couldn't possibly get any higher then they would go and bung another 20 foot on top. Incredible building.

What a great experience
Lovely photos
But too high for me
Makes me go dizzy just looking at them

Mate of mine has an office in Dubai and there was a new scraper being built opposite.
He said every day a workman would fall off.....

...555m here...

Wow, about 1800' then. Higher than most of the launches we got when I used to fly a glider

If I look out of the window I might be able to see you I'm across the water in Bahrain
