Burj Khalifa - The World's Tallest Skyscraper

Standing at 828 meters (2,717 feet), Burj Khalifa is not just the tallest building in the world but an architectural marvel that represents Dubai's ambition and innovation. Completed in 2010, this iconic tower has 163 floors and houses offices, residences, and the luxurious Armani Hotel.
