The 828m tall, 163 floor Burj Khalifa is the tallest tower in the world. It is so named to honour the UAE President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan for his crucial support. The tower was built primarily by workers from South Asia.
It was the worst time of the year to visit Dubai. Temperature was 40+°C. In addition, it was not wise to take photos in the middle of the day under a bare sky.
