You step out of the elevator and the city's geometry rearranges itself beneath you—streets become ribbons, palms become dots, the Persian Gulf a pale strip on the horizon. The Level 124/125 observation decks at Burj Khalifa put Dubai's urban drama on full display from roughly 452 meters (about 1,483 feet) up, where glass and steel frame a 360-degree panorama.
