Burj Khalifa & Emirates Towers

camel made from palm

funny sculpture made from palm tree which was exhibited at World Art Dubai. You can also see some part of the graffiti wall. Artist were at their work. Far behind you see Burj Khalifa between Emirates Towers.

Burk Khalifa

I always enjoy to photographed Burj Khalifa from different direction and unexpected combination, like here.

The small metal structure says that it is small mesjid (mosque)
have a nice weekend.

What would I miss?

If I have to leave from Dubai for good, most probably I would miss this..
early mornings at the beach when it is winter :) It is calm, silent, refreshing.

posted for the theme day of Friday. What would I miss?

Burj Khalifa from Festival City

Another view of Burj Khalifa.. this time from Festival City. you can see all the Dubai city line from far distance.

Burj Khalifa

Here we have another Burj Khalifa, The world highest manmade building.

The photo taken at 2nd of December, UAE National Day.

NYE in Dubai

Since the time Burj Khalifa has entered our life, there is special NYE Fireworks shows at Burj Khalifa every year.

Most of you, will watch it at news while they are showing how it is celebrated in different cities. Short video from Sidney, Tokyo, Moscow, Dubai, Paris, London, New York ....

Last couple of years I was spending NYE outside Dubai, same like this year. So I am not able to show you that nice show here, I am sharing one tiny Burj Khalifa here

Happy New Year..

Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa, This is visible nearly everywhere in Dubai. Not just in Dubai, you will see it from far distance.

This weekend we went to another city around 2 hours drive. on the way back we start to see the burj khalifa nearly 50 km away from the city but doesn't matter, when ever you see that, you feel that you arrive Dubai.

Burj Khalifa

Today is 1st of November and here we are another City Daily Photo Theme Day.

This month's theme is Landmark. When we think about landmark from Dubai, It might be Burj al Arab or Burj Khalifa.

Burj Al Arab can be still count as one of Landmarks from Dubai but in these days popular landmark is definitely Burj Khalifa.

I want to share the famous, the highest, the biggest ...est, ...est, ...est man-made building of the world; Burj Khalifa in a different look.

This might be little unrealistic editing but this building itself is also a bit unrealistic :)
isn't it? you can see the building's world records from the wikipedia page.

My personal thought about building is continuously swinging from "Masterpiece of Engineering" to "unnecessary use of resources"

After all those years, still I couldn't decide ...

art with traffic signs

Different style of art.
Traffic signs and lights are together.
My favourite one (camel) is quite hidden here.
You can see it in better way at my yesterday's post.

S for Sign

For today's post, I was thinking to post something unique here in Dubai. I've just posted one photo for Shisha yesterday. It could be nice theme for the S week. but too late now. I had to think it earlier.

No problem..
I found S for Sign. While I am preparing this post, no-one posted for Signs. I know it is not much "Dubai" thing, but this sign is special..

You can see this traffic sign in Dubai or lets say in this region, especially if you are on side roads. Plus I have Burj Khalifa here, world's tallest building (for the time being) which is one of Dubai Icons.

I will post another picture tomorrow, to show how that signs stays there, in that way.

details from downtown Dubai

taken near by Burj Khalifa, world's highest building.

the building on the right is a part of the Burj Khalifa complex.

burj khalifa made from flowers

Taken at Miracle Garden.
the best season to visit is winter time. they are still open but I am not sure after 40 deg C heat how these flowers will look like. I took this picture in late Feb.

Highways in Dubai

taken from the observatory deck of Burj Khalifa - at the top, with long exposure.
Highways in Dubai is quite complicated.
I was loosing my way everyday at the beginning, like everybody.
I thing loosing the way is the best way to learn which way is going where.

The Creek

a view from the Creek.
old wooden ships are carrying everything to the near cost / Africa / India or close countries. I saw so many TV, and electrical house appliances in these ships.
you can also see little bit better condition ship at the other side of the Creek. It is used for Dinner dhow cruise at the creek. at the far behind, you see world's tallest building Burj Khalifa.

view from Burj Khalifa

Another from the world's highest open air observatory deck. "at the top" You can see earlier post from here in that post, you can see feel the real height better than this picture.

Observatory Deck is on the 124th floor of Burj Khalifa.

If you are planning to visit Dubai, it is better to book the ticket online before you arrive Dubai so you can get it at reasonable price in advance.

If you want to buy the ticket and visit the Observatory Deck at the same day, you should be ready to pay nearly 4 times higher than regular price.

the highest building: Burj Khalifa

World's highest building; Burj Khalifa.
height: 828 m
floors: 163
"the worlds highest building" is not the only title of Burj Khalifa, for other world records of the building can check its page in wikipedia.

It is definitely a masterpiece of Engineering, every-time I visit observatory deck, I admire the engineering and how great the project it is.
On the other hand, every time I see this building from distance, I wonder "Why?"

posted for today's theme of ABC Wed.
This week's letter is H. You can see other contributors from here.

Eye of Dubai-Monday Mural

Another detail from the wall which is decorated for EXPO 2020 with iconic images of United Arab Emirates.

Burj Khalifa from Safa Park

Safa Park is one of my favourite parks in Dubai. I really enjoy to spent time over there.

Today, we have rain again here in Dubai, but not much. After rain it was nice to walk around in the park in the fresh smell of grass and chilli weather.
When I saw Burj Khalifa suddenly in this angle, I would like to capture it as I was and share it here.
