Travel (Outside of Canada)

One of the most beautiful places I have ever lived in was United Arab Emirates. I spent five years of my life there, which were full of excitement. I visited many wonderful and strange places that are still in mind until today, such as Burj Khalifa.

Burj Khalifa, known as Burj Dubai is the most technologically advanced skyscraper in the world. During the construction, officially named to honor the president of the neighbouring emirate Abu Dhabi, sheikh Khalifa Ibn Zayed Al Nahyan. It is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and that is the world's tallest building at an altitude of 828 meters. It took 22-million-man hours to build. The cost of building Burj Khalifa is approximately $1.5 billion. The Burj contains shops, entertainment venues, hotels, private institutions, private suites, and a panoramic garden.

The area around Burj Khalifa is making it indeed one of the most wonderful places in the world, which contains Dubai Mall, Dubai Trolley and Dubai Fountain. The fountain is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area, and it is the world's tallest performing fountain. Furthermore, Burj Khakifa contains 57 elevators and escalators, to facilitate the movement of the residents and visitors.

The park of Burj Khalifa comprises eleven hectares of greenery and water supplies, forming an amazing gateway. In addition, there are wonderful open spaces that provide paths for hiking around the lake. Besides that, there are external spaces, outdoor restaurants, forest recreation, golf area and many others. Fireworks at Burj Khalifa have become a fundamental event that happens at New Year’s Eve; it dazzles the world each time.

In conclusion, Burj Khalifa was built and designed to challenge the impossible, and the success was based on the human talent and the hard work over the years. Nobody could ever dream to build such a skyscraper at this height. It is an amazing place and I advise everybody to visit it and enjoy this place.
