Dubai’s Burj Khalifa is one of the United Arab Emirates most famous buildings. The soaring sky-high landmark of Dubai. Not only is it the world’s tallest building (at 828 meters high) it also lays claim to the titles of tallest freestanding structure in the world, highest observation deck in the world, and elevator with the longest travel distance in the world. That’s why,  I decided to take the lift up to the top of the world’s tallest building; the mighty Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. There is something quite fulfilling about experiencing and ticking off some of the Guinness world records and this was no exception. The highest observation deck can be reached via the 142nd floor.

Burj Khalifa has a rich array of amenities and services that provide residents and their guests an unparalleled lifestyle experience. Burj Khalifa was designed by Adrian Smith, of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, whose firm designed the Willis Tower and One World Trade Center. Hyder Consulting was chosen to be the supervising engineer with NORR Group Consultants International Limited chosen to supervise the architecture of the project. The design is derived from the Islamic architecture of the region, such as in the Great Mosque of Samarra. The Y-shaped tripartite floor geometry is designed to optimize residential and hotel space.  You will then experience a birds-eye view of Dubai which reaches heights of 555 meters! At the time, it felt totally normal as I’m not at all afraid of heights. But, looking back at my photos this place is totally crazy and it’s unbelievable that you can actually do this!
