While in Dubai I was told that ‘Burj‘
is Arabic for Tower.
Our impulse visit was to
Burj Khalifa…
…and our pre-planned visit was to
Burj Al Arab….
…for its 7 course High Tea,
200 metres above sea level,
in the Burj Al Arab’s
SkyView Bar.
For opulence…
…a visit to the…
…Burj Al Arab is worth every penny spent.
For sheer enormity visit the Burj Khalifa.
At over 828 metres (2,716.5 feet) and more than 160 stories,
Burj Khalifa holds the following records:
Tallest building in the world.
Tallest free-standing structure in the world.
Highest number of stories in the world.

At 555 metres (1,821 ft) high,
At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY
on Level 148 offers visitors
a wonderful opportunity to capture
unmatched views of Dubai.

fabulous

“fabulous riches”
~~~~~
Nowhere near the largest…
…building in Dubai,
…however, fabulous was the only adjective….
used to describe our High Tea experience….
…and the interior of…
…of Dubai’s…
…Burj Al Arab.
Certainly an extraordinary building.
And we will never forget the gold flakes in our first drink.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Nervous
~~~~~
nervous
easily agitated or alarmed.
Just before Christmas 2018…
…we rescued ‘Smudge’ from a local act shelter.
We renamed him Smudge.
It took him all summer to get used to his new home
and he still has not ventured any closer
than around 10 metres from the house.
He is good friends with Taji and bullies Candi at play.
