| Burj-Khalifa |
The United Arab Emirates broke world records for building height with the Burj Khalifa, also known as Burj Dubai or Dubai Tower. Burj Khalifa is the tallest manmade structure in the world nearest at 829.84 m,The building officially opened on 4 January 2010 Dubai has been a showplace for innovative, modern building, and the Burj Khalifa shatters world records. The skyscraper is much taller than Taiwan's Taipei 101, which rises 508 metres (1,667 feet). During a time of economic slowdown, the Dubai Tower has become an icon for wealth and progress in this city on the Persian Gulf. No expense was spared for the building's opening ceremonies on January 4, 2010.
The extreme height of the Burj Khalifa raises safety concerns. Could
occupants be evacuated quickly in the event of an extreme fire or
explosion? How well
would a skyscraper this tall withstand a fierce
storm or earthquake? Engineers for the Burj Kahalifa claim that the
building design incorporates multiple safety features.

I just like how the modern structures blend well with the environment. The beautiful buildings and the sea merge nicely.
