I got an opportunity to visit what might colloquially be termed as the Dark Side of Burj Khalifa since non-residents of the apartments are not allowed there.
I made sure I made most of my few moments there and took this shot. Particularly proud of this one among others. I used my Oneplus 5t.
Let me know what you think!

Hi @Abeer_Chaudhry , it sounds a little ominous to me “The Dark Side of the Caliph” or “The Back of the Moon”.
Are you saying that the back of Burj Khalifa is not used by anyone and that is why it is so dark?
Best regards!
Hey!
Yeah actually it does. But that isn’t what I meant. In astronomy, the dark side of the moon is the one that faces away from the earth, and many (unmanned) satellite missions have been undertaken to get to that and observe the moon and earth from that perspective. Its essentially was/is a difficult task and required an innovative approach as there is usually a loss of communication and control of the satellite. Anyway, I digress.
I titled this as, “The dark side of Burj Khalifa” because like the moon, this too has premium access. While everyone can take a picture of this marvelous architecture from the front, that too at some distance, the rear end is usually unseen.
I hope I have explained myself @mockata2 .
Take care!
