Dubai could also be the world’s leading international star playground, but no one can surpass the most important star, Burj Khalifa.
Found in downtown Dubai, a needle-shaped super scraper takes place in the middle of the famous sky with many tourists and VIPs flocking every year apparently to the world's most respected address.
The tallest human structure is that the last symbol of the glitz, the splendor and therefore the highest extremity understood by the city.
Rising above the city by 2,716 meters (828 meters) and boasting 200 stories (160 non-residential), the $ 1.5 billion Burj Khalifa project was launched by Dubai governor Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in January 2010.At the height of construction, 12,000 foreign workers were on site each day cutting 22 million human hours during the six years it took to complete the project.
Burj Khalifa is twice the height of New York's New York Building and 3 times the height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
It even surpassed Taiwan's Taipei 101, which was 506m (508m) and has held the planetary crown since its opening in 2004. Released at last, pieces of Burj Khalifa would stretch more than 1/4 of the way around the earth
The world's tallest building. (level 76)
Burj's appearance is based on a flower called Spider Lily (Hymenocallis), native to the southern states of the United States, South America, and Mexico.
