Burj Khalifa, formerly known as Burj Dubai, is a skyscraper in Dubai, UAE, and the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft). I’m sure all of you have seen some pics during the past years as the construction began on September 2004, but the famous tallest building in the world officially opened on 4 January 2010. You will see a bit of everything in this post, from the building itself to the opening ceremony. We’ll also take a look at photos taken from different heights of the building. |
