Trips to the Burj Khalifa

Can you imagine going up the tallest building in the world? Because that is the Burj Khalifa, something impossible not to see in Dubai. Literally. The 828 meters tower can be seen from a distance of 95 kilometers. Its height is the same as the double of the Empire State, meaning if we stack one Empire State on top of another, we have a Burj Khalifa. More than half a million tons of structure and 57 elevators support it. But that's not all; it also boasts having the highest observation deck in the world at 555 meters high. Quite impressive, right?

"Did you know that in Arabic “Burj” means “tower” and that it was previously called Burj Dubai?"

The tower is pure luxury in itself. A staggering 1.5 billion dollars was invested in its construction, and inside you can find the first hotel of the Armani brand, no small feat. Alongside the Burj Khalifa, a large artificial lake was built where you can see the Dubai Fountain. Around the lake, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants, and, of course, the Dubai Mall, one of the most famous shopping centers in the world, something you must visit in the city of luxury after seeing it from the heights. Who said vertigo?
