it took an Army Inspired by the spider lily flower, the elaborately designed tower was always going to be a huge undertaking. Even for a city that features the Dubai Fountain and a slew of other skyscrapers, this was the citys biggest (and tallest) project. The building of the Burj Khalifa required a workforce that was larger than any the city had ever needed before. By the peak of construction, 12,000(!) workers were needed on-site every day. Thats a lot of hard hats!

2. Heavy metal(s)When it comes to putting together one of the worlds tallest yet safest buildings, premium quality materials are more than a must. As a first precaution, the tower was built in a Y-shape to make it more stable. But how do you make sure the 830 meter (2,720 ft) Burj Khalifa stays where you want it? Tons and tons of concrete literally! How many tons exactly? To give you an idea about 100,000 elephants worth. Talk about heavy metal.

3. Lofty goalsBreaking the world record for the tallest building wasnt enough for the Burj Khalifa. The enormous tower also cemented its place in the Guinness World Records for a couple of other reasons. As the record holder for the worlds highest inhabitable floor, the Burj Khalifa has the (sky-)highest views from any home. Theres good news for lucky residents looking to reach their oh-so-lofty estates. No need to lug groceries up countless stairs when theres (what else) but the second record-breaker: the worlds tallest elevator!

4. Going the distanceIt might be debatable whether you can see the Great Wall from space. But theres no doubt that from land, the Burj Khalifa can be seen from up to 95 km (60 miles) away. Whether exploring the desert dunes on safari or drifting along the cool waters of the nearby bay, the skyscraper seems to follow. Dubai will be ready and waiting for you.

5. Dinner and a viewFeeling peckish? The Burj Khalifa really has it all, including a little At.mosphere the restaurant! You can find the worlds highest restaurant up 441 meters (1,447 ft) just hit the button for floor 122. No matter where you find yourself seated, the views are unbeatable, thanks to the segmented floor plan making every angle the best vantage point. Panoramic views of Dubai and the surrounding landscape are our preferred digestive. It doesnt get much higher on the bucket list than the Burj Khalifa.

6. A little spring cleaningWith over 26,000 glass panels covering the exterior of the tower, its no surprise that cleaning can be a bit high-maintenance. Did you know? It can take a team of cleaners up to 3 months to clean every single window. The best part? Once theyre done, they have to start all over again.

7. Sky-high sculpturesThe Burj Khalifa isnt just about views and food. The skyscraper is also filled to the brim with art, culture, and the worlds first Armani hotel.
