The weather in Dubai makes a huge difference as to how the city looks. We had two rainy and/or overcast days, and one beautiful day. Burj Khalifa, the tallest artificial structure in the world, standing at 829.8 m (2,722 ft), with 124 floors, was spectacular in the sunlight. This was shot from The Dubai Mall, across the Dubai Fountains (which were under maintenance at the time).

Patti was kind enough to link me to this blog about a group that scaled Burj Khalifa. Scary pictures even to look at -- I'm glad we stayed on the ground! http://blog.joemcnally.com/2015/03/17/the-magnificent-lads-on-the-side-of-the-tower/

Another picture posted today of a golden Porsche at the Abu Dhabi airport, along with a man and his falcon awaiting their flight:
