What made you choose to go on this trip, or was it part of a uni course?
The Emirates Towers are seriously impressive, the mall inside is ridiculous too but I doubt they see much but Gold/Platinum cards
I fail to see how anyone could be unimpressed by the Burj Dubai, a building that is 818m tall

Nearly 4 times the height of Canary Wharf. Maybe the pictures don't give that impression but standing underneath it is an experience.
I have a friend that lives there so just went out to visit him for a while. He asks every year and I was lucky enough to have the money this time round.
