40 See-It-to-Believe Photos That Reveal the Weird and Wonderful Side of Dubai

Sky High Swagger

Dubai’s architecture takes the phrase “reach for the stars” seriously, and no building represents this better than the Burj Khalifa. Majestically towering at a jaw-dropping 2720 feet, this architectural marvel broke several records when it was inaugurated in January 2010. It’s not just a pretty face either; the ‘Y’ shape is more than a fashion statement—it’s a windbreaker!

Reportedly investing a cool $2 billion, Emaar Properties’ intent was not just to wow the world but to leave a permanent mark on it. Sure, it might be the tallest, but the blend of aesthetics and clever engineering makes the Burj Khalifa the ultimate symbol of Dubai’s sky-high ambition.
