World's tallest tower closes observation deck

275x250.jpgThe observation deck at the top of the tallest building in the world, has been closed after just one month.

Visitors to the 160 floor tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai have been paying $100 (£60) each to go to the sky-high observation deck.

But this week the deck was closed with Emaar Properties, the owner of the building, saying there had been problems with the power supply for the elevators.

It is not known when the deck - 36 storeys below the highest offices - will be re-opened.

Something tells us the 'At the Top' visitor attraction just won't have the same level of appeal if tourists have to take the stairs.
