The Burj Khalifa, which was completed in 2010, is the world's largest structure and building. The overall height is 829.8 metres, with a roof height of 828 metres.

The Burj Khalifa's construction began in 2004 and was finished five years later in 2009. The structure was completed in 2010 as part of a new concept known as downtown Dubai. It will serve as the centrepiece of a vast, mixed-use complex. The edifice set multiple height records, including being named the world's tallest structure. Owings & Merrill, and Adrian Smith of Skidmore, who also designed the Willis Tower and One World Trade Center, designed the Burj Khalifa.

Here are some of the salient features of the world’s tallest building that you shouldn't miss on your Burj Khalifa tour.

The Dubai Fountain:

The Dubai Fountain is a magnificent work of art located directly in front of the Burj Khalifa. It has 6,600 lights and 50 coloured projectors to illuminate it. The area is continually filled with music ranging from classical to modern Arabic and other genres. It is capable of shooting water 150 metres into the air.

Observation deck:

At the time of its opening, the Observation Deck in Burj Khalifa was the world's highest outdoor observation deck. Cloud Top 488 atop the Canton Tower currently holds the record. The electronic telescope, a virtual reality system designed by Montréal's Gsmprjct % that allows travellers to enjoy natural landscapes in real-time, is also located on the observation deck. People can see Iran's coastlines from the top of the skylights when the tide is low and vision is good.

Burj Khalifa Park:

A 27-acre park developed by SWA Group landscape architects surrounds the Burj Khalifa. The park's design was inspired by the Hymenocallis flower, a desert plant, just like the tower. The water field, which includes a series of ponds and water jet fountains, is located in the centre of the property.
