Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة‎ "Khalifa Tower"),[8] known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and the tallest man-made structure ever built, at 828 m (2,717 ft).[8] Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009. The building officially opened on 4 January 2010,[1][9] and is part of the new 2 km2 (490-acre) flagship development called Downtown Dubai at the 'First Interchange' along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district.

This building is so high, I have been currently only on Eiffel tower in Paris, that's the tallest building where I have been. I think it's scary to look down from this building, but also it gives a great power feeling, that humanity can achieve so much, however comparing to mountain Everest this is only about 1/10th small piece of concrete, but still worth to see that because it's highest MAN made structure. I hope that will have a chance to be there, I like how it looks in the internet, I think I would love the United Arab Emirates because it's so beautiful place where the so much money are invested to make such great structures as this one.
