Burj Khalifa: Closed a month after opening !
On February 8, 2010 at 11:53 pm
The world’s tallest skyscraper has unexpectedly closed to the public a month after its lavish opening, disappointing tourists headed for the observation deck and casting doubt over plans to welcome its first permanent occupants in the coming weeks.
Electrical problems are at least partly to blame for the closure of the Burj Khalifa’s viewing platform — the only part of the half-mile high tower open yet. But a lack of information from the spire’s owner left it unclear whether the rest of the largely empty building — including dozens of elevators meant to whisk visitors to the tower’s more than 160 floors — was affected by the shutdown.

Imagine that you get stuck at the 160 floor and now way out?

I heard (but I haven’t confirmed) that they changed the name back to Burj Dubai… Do you think the events are related? :)

ما تعرفون مادى اهميةالمكان لدى بعض الزوار شاهدت بعيني ناس تبكي لان زيارتهم الى دبي هدفها برج خليفة وتفاجؤوا باللوحة
بالمناسبة, زيارة برج خليفة تبدأ من مول دبي “الطابق الاخير” المؤدي الى النافورات واسعار التذاكر 100 درهم للشخص الواحد وتنفذ بسرعة رهيبة

I was there yesterday, but they said they were closed for few days only.
They might reopen saturday. They were refunding people their money.
It is a 100 AED per person but they give the time to visit, or 300 AED and you enter right away.
I really wanted to see it, but I guess I will see it next time inshallah.
