One of the most well-known buildings in the world in recent times is the Burj Khalifa which is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With a total height of 829.8 metres(2,722ft), it has been the largest building in the world since its completion in 2009. The skyscraper took around 5 years to build, it was mainly created using reinforced concrete, steel and glass. Built to the designs of Adrian Smith, the skyscraper is used for many purposes; it contains a hotel, restaurants, offices, observation decks and much more. It is an iconic building and one of the most photographed in the world with it being highly popular with influencers.

I have visited Dubai for work over the past couple of years and this is a place I try to visit every time. Dubai is growing so much so its observation deck is a great place to see its expansion from visit to visit.
