Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa, which was formerly called the Burj Dubai, is also known as Dubai Towers or Burj Duba. As the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa rises into clouds of Dubai at its peerless 828-meter height. It is a combination of art, engineering, traditional, and culture. Here you can see grand and spacious offices, 900 private residences, and Armani Hotel with 160 rooms. Standing at the outdoor viewing platform on the 124th floor, you can take a panoramic picture of Dubai. The latest scenic spot is located on the record-breaking viewing platform at the 148th floor—At The Top SKY.

Two floors below, At the Top, is the high-grade and elegant “At.mosphere” restaurant. It is the tallest restaurant in the world, which enables you to appreciate the beauty of the city while enjoying a world’s class meal. Burj Khalifa is also the heaven of art lovers where more than 1000 pieces of artwork from the Middle East and international artists are collected to provide a visual feast.

The original name of Burj Khalifa was Dubai Tower, it was officially renamed as Burj Khalifa after completion. In the ancient Arab world, the meaning of Khalifa is “The supreme leader of the Islamic world,” and it is also the title of many rulers of the Arab Empire in history. Dubai belongs to the United Arab Emirates and the president of Dubai is also the emirate of Abu Dhabi. He happens to be called Khalifa. The reason to rename Dubai Tower as Khalifa temporarily is to remember Khalifa’s efforts to help Dubai get through the debt crisis at the end of 2009.
