Dubai is a city full of wonders and excitement; you can do all sorts of activities there all day long! One of the most iconic landmarks of Dubai, and the world, is Burj Khalifa. Burj Khalifa is not just another tower that you pass by during your private tour in Dubai. The tallest building in the world, is without a doubt an iconic landmark that reflects Dubai’s diversified cultures from around the world. It was built honoring the advancement we have reached in terms of engineering technology and art. Here are some facts about this extraordinary building:
– The structure of Burj Khalifa – Dubai, was inspired by a flower called ‘The Spider Lilly’, which is commonly cultivated in Dubai.
– A blind Turkish artist named Esref Armagan has drawn an outstanding sketch of Burj Khalifa just by touching its miniature model! This was part of the joined forces between Burj Khalifa and Noor Dubai Foundation ‘Art4Sight’ in 2012.
– Burj Khalifa has become a celebration landmark; specifically during New Year’s Eve, where over 1 million people gather around it to witness the state-of-the-art fireworks show. If you plan your private tour to Dubai around this time, you’ll have the time of your life!
– The tallest building in the world has been an inspirational host for innovative ideas and entertainment shows. The ‘Vertical Fashion Show’ is among those pioneering out-of-this-world concepts that was masterfully implemented at Burj Khalifa. The Show took place in 2014 as a part of ‘Dubai Shopping Festival’, and it featured models walking on the Burj’s outer frontage. We really hope one day you could experience that during your private tour in Dubai.
– Due to its marvelous construction, Architect Adam Reed Tucker has designed a Lego® model to join the renowned Lego® Architecture Collection in 2011.
