Cultural Exploration [Friday, 2nd Period]

After Clint ushered everyone through the portal, the students would find themselves in a busy, metropolitan area. "Hey guys, welcome to Dubai," he said, looking even more excited than usual. "Dubai is a fairly independent city-state in the United Arab Emirates, and while a lot of people think of the Middle East as a dangerous place, Dubai is actually pretty modern and progressive thanks to super rich business folks who came in, built the place up over time, and made it an international center of commerce. After that came a ton of tourism, and now Dubai is one of the richest city-states in the world. In fact, Dubai is such a wealthy place that they were able to build that--the Burj Khalifa, the tallest man-made structure in the world. How tall is it? Well, we're going to find out."

Like you're about to be almost 2,000 feet off the ground.

To the Observation Deck!

The Burj Khalifa's observation deck was on level 124, a whopping 1,918 ft from the ground after a nearly 200 foot elevator ride. The deck was lined on all sides by glass offering many great views of Dubai.

You know, assuming you weren't afraid of heights and could approach the glass without throwing up.

"This is really, really high," Rilla said, not pressing her face against the glass at all. She was just about ready to get back on the elevator as soon as possible.

Now would be good, even.

Jim didn't mind heights it this...was something else. He made sure to keep himself centered and didn't even try to do anything stupid on this thing.

Didn't want to go tumbling down.

Maddie had absolutely zero problems going right up to the glass and loving the view. It was making her miss flying a little bit, though. Imagine how awesome that would be at this height.

Alex was a bit apprehensive as she approached the glass, but she was determined to see the amazing views. She was completely in awe of the height.

The Sky Cafe was a pretty typical coffee shop located on the ground floor. If you had an appetite, there were plenty of scones and caffeine to go around.

Talk to Clint

He'd be on the observation deck with his head as close to the glass as possible. Weirdo.
