More than 12,000 construction workers are working to finish the Burj Khalifa, which was started in September 2004. Its outer façade is made up of 28,261 glass panels in total. The skyscraper is constructed in the form of a sizable needle, often known as the “Vertical City.”

There are 164 storeys in the Burj Khalifa. Among them are a hotel created by famed fashion designer Giorgio Armani, over 1,000 residential flats, and 49 floors devoted to office space. The observation deck, which is located on the 124th floor, offers guests a magnificent and opulent panoramic view of Dubai.

The Burj Khalifa’s interior is furnished with a cutting-edge elevator system. This tower’s elevators have top speeds of 64 km/h. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai not only has these outstanding qualities, but it also holds two other world records for the tallest swimming pool (placed on the 70th floor) and the highest mosque (located on the 158th floor).

The difference between the Burj Khalifa’s top and lowest floors is one distinctive feature. This disparity in height produces a clear contrast inside the tower. Even the time of day varies between the lower and higher floors by a few hours. The difference in temperature between the top and bottom levels is between 5 and 10 degrees. You cannot see the city below from the Burj Khalifa’s highest floors.
