Sunrise At the Top of Burj Khalifa

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On the morning of 2 December 2016 I was invited to a remarkable event, to watch the sunrise from At the Top of Burj Khalifa. The early morning entry to the observations decks on Level 124 and 125 to watch the winter sunrise from the world’s tallest building is something that I recommend to anyone who is up for a lifetime experience.

This indeed was the earliest event that I have ever attended, but by far it was worth the early morning wake up. At 05:30 am I made my way up to the At the Top of Burj Khalifa. I have recently visited the landmark which you can read about here, however this time it was a completely different feeling.

It was still dark and the to my surprise the place was packed with visitors and even families with young children who were excited to welcome the sun.

At approximately 06:24 the first light of the dawn started to appear over Dubai, the city was welcoming a new day. The red-orange rays highlighted the horizon.

At around 06:48 the sun gradually started to rise and I made my way to the Level 125. The calmness of the new day was awe-spiring.

The area was only open to media and turned into a creative playground for photographers. The lighting, the shadows and the overall ambiance created a fantastic setting for creative photography.

I stayed up At the Top of Burj Khalifa until about 08:00 am to experience the magic of the new day. I have never enjoyed the sunrise as much as I did on this day.

Watching the city wake up, the  sky change colour and the details of this grand city from above, was beyond what words can describe. This is that kind of moment where you stop, feel and reflect. Moments like these make you feel grateful and alive.
