The elevator hums, the city compresses into a mosaic of glass and sand, and within a blink you are more than four hundred meters above a shoreline that seems to stretch and push outward. From levels 124 and 125 of the Burj Khalifa the city rearranges itself: the Dubai Fountain sketches formal arcs below, the Persian Gulf holds a pale, patient horizon, and the desert edges press against the urban grid.
