Hymenocallis, a desert flower, is the inspiration behind the design of Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper at 828 meters or (2716.5 feet). A view of the world's tallest building from the road in Dubai.
American architect Adrian Smith's concept of the Burj Khalifa has been thus described: Like petals from a stem, the tower's wings extend from the central core. Dominating the skyline of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is not merely the world's tallest building but the tallest free-standing structure and the world's tallest structure.

Dominating the skyline of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa is not merely the world's tallest building but the tallest free-standing structure and the world's tallest structure.
The world's tallest building has more than 160 stories. These include a fine-dining restaurant, At.mosphere, on level 122, 37 office floors, the Armani Hotel Dubai with 160 guest rooms and suites, 144 private Armani residences and 900 Burj Khalifa residences.
A visit to the Burj Khalifa begins in the reception area on the lower ground level of The Dubai Mall. A multimedia presentation describes Dubai’s exotic history and the story of the Burj. A high-speed elevator travels at 10 metres per second. The doors open at any floor to a floor-to-ceiling glass wall offering an unobstructed 360-degree panorama of the city, desert and ocean.
An outdoor observation deck, named At the Top, opened on January 5, 2010 on the 124th floor of Burj Khalifa. At 452 meters (1,483) feet, it is the world's third highest observation deck and the second highest outdoor observation deck. This observation deck also features the Behold Telescope, which allows visitors to view the surrounding landscape in real-time.
