Visitors now have the option of buying gold bars emblazoned the inimitable logo of Burj Khalifa that can be purchased through Dubai’s first ‘Gold to Go’ vending machines that have been set up at the most popular tourist destination in Dubai. Coated in 24-carat gold, the ‘Gold to Go’ vending machines provide customers four types of gold bars — each bearing the logo of the global icon — available in sizes ranging 2.5gms, 5gms, 10gms, and 1 ounce.

Issam Galadari, Chief Executive Officer — Dubai Operations of Emaar Properties, said: “Every visit to ‘At the Top, Burj Khalifa,’ is a memorable experience for our guests. Now with the setting up of the ‘Gold to Go’ vending machines, they can add to the thrills by buying gold souvenirs of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building and a true Global Icon.”

The ‘Gold to Go’ vending machines are located at At the Top, Burj Khalifa, Level 124, as well as in the souvenir store at the entrance of the At the Top at The Dubai Mall’s Lower Ground Level.

Thomas Geissler, CEO of Ex Oriente Lux AG and inventor of the world’s first gold vending machine, said: “A visit of such an excellent establishment quite simply deserves a very special souvenir. What could be more exclusive than a gift of pure gold? And unlike the most souvenirs, your Burj Khalifa gold bar will never lose its value and give pleasure for the next few hundred years.”

Burj Khalifa was recently honoured with the ‘Global Icon’ status by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), an honour bestowed for tall structures only once in 10 to 15 years, and At the Top, Burj Khalifa, was most recently voted as the ‘Best Tourist Attraction’ at the‘Best in Dubai’ awards.
