The Burj Khalifa, a well-known skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is the world's highest structure and building. It stands at a height of 2722 feet, with the roof reaching a height of 2717 feet. It was created in order for Dubai to obtain international prominence.
Burj Dubai was the initial name, but it was later changed to honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Abu Dhabi.
The structure has been classified as the world's highest and has broken multiple height records. The Burj Khalifa is a large-scale mixed-use construction designed to be a focal point. It has 30,000 homes, a minimum of 19 residential skyscrapers, 7.4 acres of parkland, 12 hectares of artificial Burj Khalifa Lake, and the Dubai Mall, as well as 9 hotels, including the famed The Address Downtown Dubai.
On the 124th storey of the skyscraper, in the month of January of 2010, an outdoor observation deck known as 'At The Top' opened. It was the world's highest outdoor observation deck, standing at 1483 ft. However, in 2011, Cloud Top 488 of the Canton Tower, which stands at a height of 1601 feet, surpassed it.
On October 15th, 2014, Burj Khalifa provided the world the world's highest observation deck when it opened the 1821 feet high 148th-floor SKY level. In June 2016, the Shanghai Tower set a new record with an observation deck that reached a height of 1840.55 ft.
The 124th-floor observation deck has an augmented reality gadget, an electronic device by Montréal's Gsmprjct°. Tourists can use the device to see the nicely planted surroundings in real time. It also allows people to enjoy previously captured and saved photographs, such as those captured in various weather conditions and at various times of the day.
The management does an excellent job of reducing the daily rush of tourists by allowing them to purchase tickets in advance for a certain time and date at a 75 percent discount off the face value when paid on the spot. The Iran beaches may be seen from the tower top when vision is good and the tide is low.
