Burj Khalifa - The Tallest building in the world

Dubai - We have booked our tickets prior to arriving Dubai.   The Burj Khalifa is located at the Dubai mall - Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. It's a magnificent structure that stands at an impressive height of 828 meters (2,716.5 feet) and has 163 floors. I had the opportunity to visit this iconic landmark and I must say that it was an experience of a lifetime.

Peek to the Burj Khalifa

My trip to Burj Khalifa began with a visit to the observation deck, which is located on the 124th floor of the building.  There was a long queue to board the elevator.  As I stepped out of the elevator, I was greeted with breathtaking views of Dubai's skyline. I could see the city's landmarks, including the Palm Jumeirah, the Dubai Marina, and the World Islands, from a whole new perspective.

I spent some time admiring the views and taking photos from different angles. The glass walls of the observation deck provided an unobstructed view of the city.

We spent a about 30 minutes on the observation deck, and then had to join the queue to get down to ground floor.


The Burj Khalifa is not just a tall building; it's a feat of engineering and design. The building's architecture is inspired by the Hymenocallis flower, which is native to the region. The design features a triple-lobed footprint, which provides stability to the building, and the Y-shaped structure allows for maximum views of the surrounding area.
