Tallest Building in the World

This is the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. It stands 2716ft tall in comparison to the 1776ft of One World Trade (the tallest building in the US).  Burj means tower in Arabic. The second part is named after the leader of the neighboring emerite Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa ibn Zayed Al Nayan. (Smart move keeping it short to just “Khalifa”).  People actually live here. As far as going up to the top observation deck, I’ll save that for another day.  I am acrophobic and I’ll need some time to muster the courage. Stay tuned . . . .
