Thanks for the link, Carole! I’ve done several others about Dubai too. The old district was really interesting.

Although I do think that is a ridiculous fee to pay. But I guess they charge it because they can. I agree with your comment, “The beauty of a credit card is you don’t actually see the money changing hands. If we had, I’m not sure I would have been able to part with 121 euros just to ride an elevator to the top of a building, even if it is the tallest in the world.” More on Dubai, http://travelswithcarole.blogspot.com/search/label/Dubai

Seriously though. I don’t often desire to visit places with tons of people. People ruin everything. I want to go places that are quiet, natural, peaceful… Places to recharge and feel alive. BUT. This IS the tallest building on earth. And it’s DEFINITELY on my bucket list!

It’s quite spectacular but I don’t think I would have been tempted to spend quite so much money going up it!
