What travelers say:

Burj Khalifa is the tallest tower in the world. Until 2010, it was called the Burj Dubai or simply the Dubai Tower. Its shape is similar to a stalagmite — a wide base and a sharp spire pointing straight up.The tower has managed to become both a symbol of the modern Arab Emirates and the ongoing competition between countries in the height of skyscrapers.The construction lasted six years, one or two floors were erected every week, and finally the tower was opened on January 4, 2010. The architect of this skyscraper is the famous Adrian Smith, known for his previous creations (Jeddah Tower and Jin Mao Skyscraper in China). This project was designed as a "city within a city" — with independent infrastructure, parks and streets.The construction of the Burj Khalifa Tower cost $1.5 billion.Interestingly, ice was added to the concrete solution during the construction of the tower and the structures were filled only at night, since the temperature was too high for this during the day. After drying, the solution is not afraid of either high or low temperature values. Burj Khalifa is considered one of the safest buildings in the UAE and the world.
