Views From Burj Khalifa – The Tallest Building In The World

Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world located in modern Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Its construction began in 2004 and was completed in 2010.

Burj Khalifa was designed to be the centerpiece of large-scale, mixed-use development and it is meant to represent oil-based economy of the city which very quickly gained international recognition as one of the richest and most developed places in the world.

The building was named in honor of the ruler of the city and president of the United Arab Emirates – Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Abu Dhabi.

Its impressive height of 555 meters makes it the most iconic sightseeing on this planet.
