The tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa is a global icon. A true engineering feat, this building is the heart and soul of the city of Dubai.
Soaring to 828 meters high, this magnificent structure is located next to the Dubai Mall and has attracted visitors from around the world since its opening in 2010. The unparalleled views offered by Burj Khalifa can be admired from the two-level observation deck at “At the Top” on the 124th and 125th floors, or from the highest observation deck in the world (555m) on the 148th floor.

The design of this gigantic tower is an abstraction of the Hymenocallis flower and features a three-lobed footprint (a triple circular structure rising from its central core).
