Before I checked out the food prices I went up the Burj Khalifa to the 124 floor. The lift moves at 10m/s so it takes no time at all. It was booked up for several days in advance so if you want to go in the morning then book online in advance if you are only here for a few days.
So Back in March 2009 (see post from Thursday March 12th 2009) I went to Spinneys in Dubai Marina.
Now I went back to check how the food prices have changed.
