Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, stands as a pinnacle of luxury with its shopping malls and residential spaces on the upper floors. A video capturing the breathtaking view from its topmost floor is currently trending on social media, offering a perspective few can imagine.
Reaching a height of 828 meters (2,716.5 feet), the view from Burj Khalifa is awe-inspiring. The video, shared on Instagram by @mdakib8879, starts with someone opening a balcony door at the building’s highest floor. The subsequent view reveals an expanse of greyish-white clouds over the city of Dubai, with smaller buildings peeking through the cloud layer. The post is captioned in Hindi, which translates to, “Friends, Burj Khalifa is the world’s biggest destination and when I saw the view below from the top floor, I felt like this.”
