While The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour and Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia are set to overtake the\u00a0Burj Khalifa by 2020, for now the Downtown skyscraper IS the tallest building in the world. At 828m, the prominent feature on every tourist brochure boasts several world records. Long haul luxury travel operator\u00a0Destination2<\/a> has\u00a0dug deep to find and share some interesting facts about this engineering marvel.<\/p>\n

Opened in 2010, the Burj Khalifa is two times taller than the Empire State Building and three times taller than the Eiffel Tower<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
