Dubai from Above


Probably the most famous Dubai’s landmark is Burj Khalifa, the tallest man-made structure in the world. With a height of 829.8 m, this is the highest skyscraper that has been ever built.


It took just 1325 days to complete the tower and it required nearly 12000 workers on-site on any given day. More than 30 000 tons of rebar were used for the Burj Khalifa’s construction. If you layed all these steel bars end to end, you’d have the length that equals a quarter of the way around the world.


No wonder that Dubai with all its huge skyscrapers and spectacular architecture attracts lovers of extreme tourism. For example those, who like to take photos from the spires of the skyscrapers.
