About Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, holds the prestigious title of being the tallest building in the world, towering at 828 meters high. Completed in 2010, this architectural wonder features 163 floors of mixed-use space. It was designed by the renowned architect Adrian Smith of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Its Y-shaped floor plan maximizes views of the Arabian Gulf. The design of Burj Khalifa is inspired by the Spider Lily, a regional desert flower. This iconic structure is a centerpiece of Downtown Dubai and is surrounded by luxury hotels, shopping destinations, and a plethora of entertainment options. Burj Khalifa also holds other records, such as having the highest outdoor observation deck in the world, the highest occupied floor, and the elevator with the longest travel distance. The observation decks on the 124th, 125th, and 148th floors offer breathtaking views of Dubai's skyline, desert, and ocean. Burj Khalifa is not just an attraction for tourists but also houses residences, corporate offices, and the Armani Hotel.

Have to do this at least once
This was on our list as didn’t feel we could come to Dubai and not go to the Burj Khalifa. We went at night after watching the fountains. The views were lovely. It was busy but the crowds were manageable. We only did floor 124+125. The outside space on 124 was great but the lights on 125 (red/purple) did affect the quality of photos taken inside, Including the ones that they try to upsell you on (see attached photos - two upsold photos first taken on floor 124 and second same shot on 125 where lights make our skin a lot redder). Definitely go at least once but not something we feel the need to rush back to.
