Inside the Burj Khalif witht he Persian Gulf behind me

A view from the worlds tallest observation deck (124th floor, 1,450ft)

A look from the 124th floor to the 160th ( 2,717ft)

The Falcon is no longer used out of necessity for hunting in the desert but is a major symbol for the U.A.E like the Bald Eagle is for America

A fresh coconut juice break on the way to the desert safari

The long day ended with a buffet and belly dancing in the middle of the desert
