1Burj Khalifa (Dubai, UAE)
Standing at an astonishing 828 meters (2,717 feet), the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world and a symbol of modern architectural achievement. Completed in 2010, this sleek skyscraper was designed by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The Burj Khalifa’s tapering form and gleaming glass façade are inspired by traditional Islamic architecture, yet its scale and engineering are firmly rooted in the 21st century. The building’s observation decks offer unparalleled views of the Dubai skyline and the surrounding desert, making it a must-see for visitors to the UAE.
