Located in the heart of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest skyscraper in the world, rising to 828m. This project is not only the pride of Dubai but also an important milestone in the history of modern architecture. Although construction began in 2004, within just 6 years, with the contribution of more than 12,000 workers every day, Burj Khalifa was completed and officially launched in 2010.

Originally named “Burj Dubai,” the tower was later renamed Burj Khalifa in honor of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the UAE, who provided financial support for the project. With its architecture inspired by the Hymenocallis flower (desert spider flower), Burj Khalifa is a testament to the limitless creativity of human beings. With its unique “Y” shape, the tower is not only beautiful but also optimizes space and load-bearing capacity.
