#48 – Dubai & Burj Khalifa, United Arab Emirates (UAE)

August 15, 2014

Dubai has accelerated exponentially over the past 10 years from a sleepy desert town to a mega desert city with too many skyscrapers to count. While interesting to visit, it's not exactly an appealing place to live. The view from the 124-floor Burj Khalifa is stunning. [MORE...]
