Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest man made structure in the face of the earth, standing at 829 meters the view from up there is breathtaking . It took 6 years to build this massive 164 floor building and the main reason behind it was to diversify from the oil based economy of the Gulf and to establish Dubai as a global financial centre.
The burj is truly a architectural marvel and its amazing how much mankind and come from building pyramids from stone to this amazing modern super structure. National Geographic has made a very interesting documentary on building the Burj on its series Mega Strucutures.![Burj Khalifa , Dubai](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP63UDiC7kH_oxVAQLIFSrySvVW32o4pdc2ENebacBEQ0vVjTexLKDQMxEW0WPQx0pH2m2-ChMaY5TX_-P5hG2goyYsnxZJldkqS1pQioP6AGQ0rfAHv5b9Vd6zszQFhM2jVZlK2NQQ20/s1600/Dubai+2011+1148+dd.jpg)
