1 Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Blvd, Dubai. The Burj Khalifa, formerly known as the Burj Dubai or the "Dubai Tower," is a unique skyscraper in Dubai, UAE, standing 828 meters tall. It is the tallest building on the planet, with the most floors, and is the tallest structure in the world. The structure's architectural appearance resembles a stalagmite due to its stepped shape.
The official opening took place on January 4, 2010, although it was originally planned for September 9, 2009, to coincide with the launch of the Dubai Metro. However, due to funding cuts, the date had to be postponed until early the following year.
Since July 21, 2007, the Burj Khalifa has been the tallest building in the world, and since May 19, 2008, the tallest structure ever built. The previous record was held by the Warsaw Radio Tower, which collapsed in 1991. The building stands an impressive 828 meters tall, including a 180-meter spireβthe longest in the world.
Originally known as the Dubai Tower, it was renamed in honor of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan by the ruler of Dubai and current Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum during the opening ceremony. ntown Dubai, UAE
