January 4, 2010 is a date never to be forgotten. After months of anticipation, the behemoth Burj Khalifa had its grand opening and the entire Emirate (and the rest of the world) watched in awe. From fireworks to fountains and a stunning laser show, the opening was the perfect start to a new year and a new decade for the UAE.

Standing at 828 metres (2,716.5 ft), the newly renamed Burj Khalifa if officially the tallest tower in the world, surpassing Taipei 101 which at 508 metres (1,667 ft) once held the top spot.

UAE residents and visitors can marvel at the new Burj Khalifa with At the Top tour. For Dhs100, take an interactive tour through the building which includes two multimedia presentations and a double-decker elevator ride up to the 124th floor. In less than 60 seconds, you’ll find yourself standing in the world’s most outstanding observation deck, the only one to have an outdoor terrace at that height. And for all those who aren’t keen on queues, Dhs210 gets you a line bypass.

What are you waiting for?!
