Dubai never stops amazing me with all of their man made attractions trumping the entire world. This for example is beauty in the sky.
I can not WAIT for the this to open up, I'm dying to go all the way to the top floor and see Dubai from a totally different perspective
I'd love to go to the top of this. I'm sure the view is spectacular.
