Burj Khalifa is one of the tallest buildings in the world, completed in 2010 at a cost of $1.5 billion. Originally named "Burj Dubai," it was renamed after Abu Dhabi and UAE's leader Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who helped Dubai with its debt crisis. The design was inspired by the desert flower spider lily, incorporating elements of traditional culture, engineering, and art. Designed by American architect Adrian Smith, the construction was carried out by China's Nantong Sixth Construction Group, while the curtain walls were contracted by three companies - Hong Kong's Far East, Shanghai's Lujin, and Shaanxi's Hengyuan. Burj Khalifa has 57 elevators and 8 escalators, including the world's fastest elevator made by Germany's ThyssenKrupp, which travels at a speed of 17.5 m/s. The tower also features the world's highest restaurant, At.mosphere, as well as the first Armani Hotel in the world. There are two observation decks, located on the 124th and 148th floors, providing stunning views of Dubai. More than 1,000 art pieces from around the world are exhibited in Burj Khalifa. To visit the observation deck, visitors need to obtain a physical ticket from the LG floor of Dubai Mall, and queue for two high-speed elevators. The most popular observation position faces Sheikh Zayed Road, providing a spectacular view of the sunset on clear days. In the evening, the Burj Khalifa light show offers a stunning visual feast for visitors.
