Burj Khalifa

This 829.8 m skyscraper soaring above Dubai is the tallest building in the world. You can use the fastest double-deck elevator in the world to get to the top of the building and eat in the world's highest restaurant, find something interesting to read in the world's highest library or just enjoy the magnificent views from the observation deck.

From time to time, the Burj Khalifa also puts on an amazing LED light show that will make your jaw drop. You can see another type of light show if you observe the highest point of the tower during a storm. Lightning is attracted to high places and so there is no wonder that the Burj Khalifa gets struck many times during the storm.

Apart from many tourist attractions, the building also houses residential apartments, corporate suites, and hotels. To get to the entrance, take a taxi or walk from Burj Khalifa Metro Station, which should take approximately 10 minutes.

It is recommended to book the tickets in advance to get the lowest fare. Note that you must leave all the larger bags and luggage in the baggage area.
