January 26, 2011. The tallest of towers came to a new height as it opens the first gold vending machine "Gold To Go" (gtg) on 124th floor, just above the observation deck. Visitors,expats and locals alike can now have the after-sought souvenir at the ground floor of the building too. More vending machines are expected to rise within Ski Dubai, Atlantis Palm Jumeirah, and other historic places around Dubai and the whole Emirates.

As memorabia, the gold bar boasts of pure 24k yellow gold embedded with Burj Khalifa's picture logo and with weights to choose from 2.5 grams to an ounce, which equals 28.3 grams! The lightest costs around AED500, not bad for investment, is it not? Considering the rising cost of the precious metal over the years, this simply shouldn't be missed!

Catered as the land of gold, Dubai is always creating firsts of the world. Abu Dhabi had its first last May 2010 at Emirates Hotel that became an instant hit on it's first night. Where else can you buy souvenir and investment rolled in one? Germany, Japan, Spain and Italy: keep rocking!
