Burj Khalifa Photo & Video Guide
Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. Moreover, it has the highest restaurant, the biggest number of stories, the elevator with the longest travel distance in the world and other record titles. Recently, I also visited the Burj Khalifa to discover the famous skyscraper. In this Burj Khalifa Photo & Video Guide you will learn more about the Burj Khalifa visit and enjoy amazing views from the highest observation deck in the world.
The legendary building is located right next to the biggest shopping center of the city - the Dubai Mall. From here you can get a stunning view of the Burj Khalifa and the famous Dubai Fountains. This area of the city is called Dubai Downtown or Downtown Burj Khalifa, which is a complex of buildings in the centre of Dubai. It is the place where the main attractions of Dubai are located, such as Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain.
The height of the Burj Khalifa is 826 meters, it has 160 floors and a spire of 180 meters long (the highest spire in the world) on the top of the building. Your guide will tell you these interesting facts, as well as inform you about the safety rules you should know before visiting the famous tower.
One of the fastest elevators in the world will take you to a height of 555 meters. To be precise, two elevators. First, the elevator arrives at the 124th level, then you need to change it to another one and get to the 148th level.
Here, at an altitude of 555 meters, you will be offered cool drinks and snacks as an aperitif. By the way, you can be here for an hour. So take your time and enjoy your drinks.
As soon as you are on the right floor, the guide will take you to the observation deck. Indeed, an incredible view opens from here. It is difficult to convey emotions in photo or video. However, I made a small film for you about visiting the Burj Khalifa, you can find it below. Anyway, better come and see this eighth wonder of the world with your own eyes.
By the way, during the day you can perfectly see the pool in which the Dubai Fountain is situated. In the evening you can enjoy an unusual view of the Fountain Show. The first performance starts at 6 pm and then repeats every half hour.
Also, the deck offers stunning views of Dubai Downtown. To enjoy this amazing view tourists come here from all over the world and some people people even buy apartments in the building of Burj Khalifa. In general, real estate prices in Dubai are significantly lower than in London, New York or Moscow. However, only really wealthy people can afford to buy an apartment in Burj Khalifa. For example, the Indian billionaire Dr. Shetty bought 100 and 101 floors for personal use. The purchase cost him $ 25 million. Indeed, you can’t have an adresse better than "Dubai, Burj Khalifa, 100th floor".
The building has 160 residential floors, and those who live above the 150th floor can watch the Sun longer than other residents of Dubai. So, you can see the sunset twice, taking the elevator to the top floor of Burj Khalifa.
After visiting the 148th floor, you can also visit the lower observation platform for free. To do this, go down the stairs and follow the signs, or ask the guide.
The 124th floor also has a wonderful view. However, you can feel that you are much lower than before. So, if you have such an opportunity, get a ticket to visit the 148th level, as this is a really unforgettable experience.
