The tallest building in the world and a major tourist attraction in Dubai, Burj Khalifa is a must-see while in the United Arab Emirates. The awe-inspiring marvel rises above the skyline with an imposing height of 828 meters (2717 ft)!

Upon completion of the majestic architectural construction, it was not only the tallest building in the world but broke several other world records as well. Records were received for the highest occupied floor, highest outdoor observation deck, tallest service elevator, and more.

The skyscraper also holds the record for having the highest number of stories in the world, taking you 160 floors above the ground. On your way to the top, don't miss the chance to catch a live performance or enjoy a beverage with a truly breathtaking view at the Burj Khalifa Lounge.

While in the building, make sure to stop by the outdoor observatory located on the 148th floor. The views from the height of 555 meters (1820 ft) will truly make your visit to Dubai an unforgettable experience.
