One word to desribe this bulding is impressive. You can see the Burj Khalifa from almost anywhere in Dubai. I would have to say visiting the Burj Kalifia was similiar to seeing the CN tower (553m) but just a bit higher, well maybe a lot. I learned lots of fun fact but I will just give you a few. The Burj Khalifa is 160 stories and is 828 metres (2,716.5 feet). The Burj Khalifa began construction in January of 2004 and was officially opened in January of 2010. When you see the building you understand the need for a length of time needed. The observation deck is on the 124th floor. The elevator that went up was incredibly fast, I hardly noticed we were going up.
The Burj Khalifa holds many records. I told you Dubai had a ridiculous amount of world records.
I am so glad I had the opportunity to see this view. It gave me perspective on the devlopment that is occuring in Dubai. You can see both cranes everywhere as well a undeveloped dersert all around.
