It is the tallest building in the world. And most people I have met are excited to go up to the top floors for a majestic view of Dubai.
So would the guys who clean the building share the same excitement?
I happened to visit the Burj Khalifa a few days back and noticed the cleaning crew at their job. Imagine being suspended several hundred feet about ground? I am sure it must be one hell of a scary job. But for these men, its just another day on the job.
This is probably one of the most photographed building this year. I have covered the Burj Khalifa earlier at this blog.
It is a surreal experience when one stands at the foot of the building and looks up at the top. It's a special feeling as you feel the sheer size of the structure as it tapers into the sky. Every other building in the vicinity dwarfs in comparison to this amazing structure.
Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world! :-)
The Burj Khalifa stands tall at 828 m (2717 ft) and is part of the flagship development called 'Downtown Dubai'. Construction of the the tower began in Sept 2004 and the building was officially inaugurated on 4th Jan, 2010.
