The Burj Khalifa - High above the clouds

11 photos panorama of the multiple record breaking Burj Khalifa (a.k.a. Burj Dubai), inaugurated on the 4th of January 2010.

Designed by British architect Adrian Smith, the Burj Khalifa towers at a height of 828m (2,717 feet) and was built using a mere 330,000 cubic metres of concrete and 103,000 square metres of glass.

It is located in Downtown Burj Khalifa (a.k.a Downtown Burj Dubai), a development area of 2km2 which also comprises the famous Dubai Fountain and Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping mall (here visible on the right of the Burj Khalifa).
