Burj Khalifa the tallest building in the world

The shaking news broke the record of the distance of human being standing on earth , not flying , few days ago, as a milestone --- the Burj Khalifa( Burj Dubai). the 828 meters hight almost double the figure of the second hightest building in the world.




It arises my curiosity :




And my insterest starts from its World Records:

At over 800 metres (2625 feet) and more than 160 stories, Burj Dubai holds the following records:
•  Tallest building in the world

•  Highest number of stories in the world
•  Highest occupied floor in the world
•  Highest outdoor observation deck in the world
•  Elevator with the longest travel distance in the world
•  Tallest service elevator in the world building_comparison





And here are some of the essential numbers associated with the world’s tallest building:
  • 95 – the distance in kilometres at which Burj Dubai’s spire can still be seen

  • 49 – the number of office floors, including the 12-floor annexure
  • 57 – the number of elevators
