Burj Khalifa, la plus grande tour du monde en 7 chiffres spectaculaires

Située à Dubaï, aux Émirats arabes unis, Burj Khalifa culmine à 828 mètres. Des dimensions hors-norme qui font de cette tour la plus haute du monde. Un édifice spectaculaire, oeuvre architecturale de tous les records.

Partager sur :

Un chantier de 5 ans et demi

Le chantier de Burj Khalifa a débuté le 21 septembre 2004 et la tour a été officiellement inaugurée le 4 janvier 2010. Plus de cinq années ont donc été nécessaire pour bâtir cet édifice gigantesque dont la visite figure dans la liste des activités incontournables à Dubaï . Les 1200 ouvriers étaient pour l'essentiel des immigrés d'Asie du Sud-Est. Leurs conditions de travail déplorables et leur rémunération très basse ont suscité de nombreuses critiques.

1,5 milliard de dollars

C'est le coût de construction colossal de Burj Khalifa. Un prix pharaonique à la hauteur de cette construction de tous les records. Le gratte-ciel fait partie d'un vaste projet de réaménagement de ce Downton Dubai qui abrite aujourd'hui de nombreux immeubles de luxe et complexes touristiques.

Burj Khalifa mesure 828 mètres de haut

Avec ses 828 mètres de haut, Burj Khalifa est non seulement le plus haut gratte-ciel du monde mais aussi la plus grande construction humaine. Elle dépasse de près de 200 mètres la deuxième tour sur le podium : Tokyo Skytree au Japon qui culmine à 634 mètres. Mais le record de la Burj Khalifa est en passe d'être battu par la tour de Djeddah, en Arabie saoudite, qui devrait atteindre 1 000 m de hauteur.

310 000 m2 de superficie

Outre sa hauteur spectaculaire, Burj Khalifa dispose d'une superficie extravagante de plus de 300.000 mètres carré. Plus de 330 000 m3 de béton armé, 39 000 tonnes de poutres en acier et 142 000 m2 de verre ont été nécessaires à sa construction.

160 étages habitables

Burj Khalifa dispose de 160 étages habitables (bureaux, appartements, hôtels de luxe, restaurant, spa etc.) et de 3 étages supplémentaires abritant des locaux techniques.

57 ascenseurs

Qui dit gratte-ciel dit ascenseurs et sur ce point, Burj Khalifa bat également tous les records. La tour comporte 57 ascenseurs (et 8 escaliers mécaniques) mais tous ne montent pas au sommet de la tour. L'ascenseur principal mesure 504 mètres et est à ce jour le plus élevé au monde, il atteint 36 km/h à pleine puissance.

Burj Khalifa consomme 946 000 litres d’eau par jour

C'est la quantité d'eau nécessaire pour faire fonctionner chaque jour la climatisation de la tour. Un véritable désastre écologique dans un des pays les plus chauds du globe .

Burj Khalifa: Everything You Need to Know About the Tallest Building in the World

By Katherine McLaughlin

The burj khalifa seen among the Dubai skyline

Within a three-week period, Adrian Smith sketched out the original designs that would eventually become the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. In the early 2000s, he was approached by Emaar Properties, the real estate company that developed the skyscraper. “They wanted to ask us about our experience with supertalls,” Smith tells AD . At the time, he was working at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill ( SOM ) and had designed buildings such as Jin Mao Tower, a 1,380-foot tower in Shanghai; and Zifeng Tower (formerly known as Nanjing Greenland Financial Tower), a 1,480-foot tower in Jiangsu, China.

Smith and colleagues, including Bill Baker, a structural engineering partner at SOM, took the meeting and traveled from Chicago to New York for an informal yet informational conversation. “We talked a lot about designing tall buildings, because they are so different from even a 60-story building,” Smith says. Emaar representatives told the SOM team that they were looking to develop the tallest skyscraper in the world in Dubai, and asked for recommendations for selecting an architect. “I said that you ought to have about a two- or three-week ideas competition,” Smith remembers. “And they called back the following week, and said, ‘That’s what we’re gonna do.’”

Soon after, Emaar approached a handful of architectural firms, including Smith’s team at SOM, with the basic project details—they wanted something in the 1640- to 1968-foot range—and gave each team a few weeks to pull together their ideas. As Smith explains, the SOM team submitted “a rough form” of what eventually became the Burj Khalifa. “The initial drawings, which weren’t much, suited their needs,” he says. “They selected us and we then started in earnest about a month later.”

What is the design of the Burj Khalifa based on?

The floor plan at the Burj Khalifa.

Structurally, the Burj Khalifa is designed with a Y-shaped tripartite floor geometry. The design was largely based on Samsung Tower Palace Three, a skyscraper in Seoul with a similar structure that Smith had previously worked on. Because of zoning restrictions, Tower Palace Three currently stands at 73 stories, though it was originally meant to be 93, with multiple setbacks as it grew taller. When the height was reduced, “I brought it down to a point where they still stepped but only in two-story or three-story increments,” Smith explains. “So it was almost like building a top to the building.”

Though the original vision for Tower Palace Three didn’t come to pass in Seoul, the Smith still had the idea for a supertall structure with varied stepping from the three points of the tripod. “I had a scheme where each leg of the three tripods would drop off at different points,” he says, “and the other two legs would go up and then one of those would drop off, until just one leg would continue on.” Similarly, Smith had also designed a version where the legs stepped at varying intervals around the building, so that from a distance the building would appear to spiral. During the three-week ideas competition, Smith had presented both of these concepts to Emaar, who were drawn to the fact that in either iteration, the building was not only buildable, but also had a dynamic quality.

After winning the competition, the architect turned his attention to refining the building to better match the heritage of the Middle East. “As I was developing the massing, I thought about the architectural elements that exist in the Middle East, not just Dubai, that people are familiar with,” he says. Thinking particularly about Islamic architecture, pointed arches came to mind as did the onion dome—though often associated with Russian Orthodox churches, this form has roots in Syria and Iran. “So I thought, ‘I’m gonna use that, and I want to use it in an abstracted way where it’s not obvious,” Smith says of the dome shape. Because of its various setbacks, when looking down at the building, a dome form appears, though when looking up from the base, the shape isn’t particularly visible. “I wanted that to be a little mysterious, but prevalent.”

Where is the Burj Khalifa?

Burj Khalifa is located in Downtown Dubai in the United Arab Emirates near the Dubai Fountain Boardwalk. Today, the building is surrounded by other offices, shops, and restaurants including the Dubai Mall, which includes many designer retailers such as Hermés, Saint Laurant, Cartier, and Balenciaga, with other notable destinations like Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah nearby. Though the city is now known for its glitzy lifestyle and wealth, when the project was first getting started, the area wasn’t much more than a plot of land with a few buildings scattered here and there.

Downtown Dubai now has an impressive collection of modern architecture, though this wasn’t always the case.

“Sheikh Mohammed was a brilliant leader and had all of this land around Dubai, and he wanted to develop this city into a world class destination,” Smith explains. The effort was, in part, to diversify Dubai’s economy away from being largely oil-based. “He told his developer friends ‘if you have a really good idea, I'll give you the land as long as you develop it quickly,’” Smith says. “So that's really how Dubai blossomed so quickly.”

It’s also the reason the Burj Khalifa started coming together so fast. Less than a year after Emaar had selected Smith and SOM to design the supertall structure, they’d broken ground. “We got that building in the ground, in about four or five months,” Smith recalls. At the time, the Burj Khalifa was designed as a 2297-foot tower, but since it can take about a year to excavate and lay the foundation for a building of that size, Smith used that time to further develop the structure’s design. “During that process, I was able to do a series of options which would incrementally increase the height of the building, one of them even went up to about 3117 feet,” he says.

How tall is the Burj Khalifa?

From the base of the building to the very top—which includes a spire and antenna—the Burj Khalifa is 2,722 feet, or a little over a half of a mile. Still, this wasn’t always the case. Though excited to win the design competition, there was something in the back of Smith’s mind that didn’t feel quite right. “As I was developing it over the next three or four months, it was just nagging at me that it still wasn’t tall enough and it wasn’t completing itself,” he recalls.

The Burj Khalifa stands at 2,722 feet tall.

While construction crews excavated the building’s foundation, Smith and his team flew to Dubai to present a series of models to the developers to show different ways the building could be completed. “We modeled them as a tower where I could take the top off and put another top on,” Smith explains. The architect was advocating for something in the 850-meter range (about 2790 feet), though developers were conscious about the price implications of this additional height. But pre-sale numbers were good, interest in the building was high, and the development team made a decision immediately. As soon as Smith was done presenting, they’d decided on an option that brought the building up an additional 500 or so feet—to the 2,722 feet it stands at today. “We made the decision right there,” Smith says

Is Burj Khalifa the tallest building in the world?

At 2,722 feet from base to tip, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. When construction finished in 2010, it claimed the record from Taipei 101, a mixed-use building in Taipei, China, that stands at 1,667 feet tall. For greater context, two Eiffel Towers could be stacked on top of each other, and the Burj Khalifa would still be taller; the Empire State building just barely passes Burj Khalifa’s midpoint. Excluding the antenna and spire, the building is 1,919 feet tall, which is still equivalent to almost six and half football fields stacked on top of each other.

However, this is only one of the many world records Dubai’s Burj Khalifa holds. The monumental skyscraper is also the tallest structure ever built (surpassing the 2,121-foot Warsaw Radio Mast), the tallest freestanding structure (surpassing Toronto’s 1,815-foot CN Tower), and the building with the most floors (surpassing the World Trade Center’s 110 floors to its 163).

What is the cost of Burj Khalifa?

Total construction costs for the Burj Khalifa were reported to amount to $1.5 billion . Though it did cost a large sum, the Burj Khalifa is not the most expensive building in the world; that title goes to Rawabi Abraj Al-Bait Tower in Saudi Arabia, which cost $15 billion. In fact, there are 11 buildings across the globe that were more expensive to build than Burj Khalifa, despite all being shorter.

What is Burj Khalifa famous for?

Though the Burj Khalifa’s height is certainly its most obvious claim to fame, it’s the implications of this astounding elevation that makes it so special. “Whenever you do a world’s tallest building, it’s different because you confront issues that you don’t know exist yet,” Smith says. When designing a building of this size, it’s not only finding problems that haven’t existed before, but solving them too. “Every time you do a super tallbuilding, you’re learning about 10% more than previously anyone knew about supertall buildings.”

For example, when designing the Burj Khalifa, Smith and his team received incredible insights from the wind tunnel tests, which are used to predict a building’s response to various wind conditions. As buildings get taller, the impact from the wind is greater, and “with Burj Khalifa, they did wind tunnel tests that showed it would be better to move the orientation of one of the legs about 10-15 degrees in one direction to point more at the wind,” Smith says.

According to Adrian Smith, one of the most challenging—and exciting—parts about designing supertall structures is solving problems that haven’t been encountered yet.

For other architects and designers, the building’s design serves as inspiration and guidance for their projects. According to Ashley Davis, an architect and strategic construction advisor at Real Estate Bees , Burj Khalifa is a model for consumer safety and evacuation procedures in high-rise structures. “As an architect, our initial concern is for the public’s health, safety, and welfare,” she says. “The Burj Khalifa tower employs a combination of safety factors, some traditional and some taking into consideration the special circumstance of the massive square footage.” At the world’s tallest tower, some of these notable features include well-defined exit routes with refuse areas, multiple fire and smoke protected egress stairs, and fireproof floors.

However, besides redefining occupant safety and wellbeing, the structure is also aesthetically inspiring. “Burj Khalifa stands out in the midst of copy-and-paste architecture clichés, because its aesthetic fully integrates every detail from materials to geometry, history, metaphor and symbolism,” Ana Maria Torres, a New York City–based architect and founder of At Architects , tells AD . According to Torres, architecture has a way of speaking to people, whether passersby are aware of it or not, and Burj Khalifa has made her a more conscious reader of the environment. “It speaks about subtlety, strength, and intelligence,” she says. “It reinforces the connection between our sense of beauty and our understanding of the nature of a good life,” she explains.

Among it’s outstanding height, the Burj Khalifa serves as an inspiration for many other architects and designers around the world.

What is inside the Burj Khalifa?

Originally, developers planned for the building to be fully residential, though over time it changed into a mixed-use structure. “Most of these supertall buildings really need to be mixed-use because the taller they are, typically the larger they need to be at the base,” Smith says. “So you're building maybe two million, three million square feet of space, and if it’s just one use it takes time to fill it, and the carrying costs become excessive while you’re trying to rent out the building.”

At Burj Khalifa, the building is largely categorized into three main uses: residential, corporate, and hospitality. There are 900 residences in the tower made up of studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units that span levels 19–108. In addition to the prestige of living in the tallest building in the world, residents also have access to an array of amenities like indoor-outdoor swimming pools, jacuzzis, a library, cigar lounge, and a four-floor health club that includes two gyms and spa facilities. “On the amenity floors we have the pool that actually goes inside and outside,” Smith says. “It goes underneath the exterior wall, so you can actually swim under the wall and go outside.”

Looking up in a lobby in the Burj Khalifa

Each use within the Burj Khalifa has its own lobby.

Hospitality offerings include the Armani Hotel Dubai, the first hotel developed by Georgio Armani; At.Mosphere, a fine-dining restaurant on the 122nd floor; and two sky lounges, At The Top Burj Khalifa SKY and the Lounge Burj Khalifa, which are respectively located across the 124th floor, 125th floor, and 148th floor and floors 152, 153, and 154. Corporate suites are found across levels 112 to 154.

“I visited an empty office space in the Burj Khalifa that was available for rent a few years ago and it was the most oddly shaped office space I’ve ever seen,” Nadia Michel , a journalist, podcast host, and author, tells AD . Though the structure of the building yielded a somewhat unusual floor plan—a cavernous, circular area with a pillar in the center, Michel says—the views were unparalleled. “Looking out from a high floor, after sunset, onto the Dubai Fountain is a magical experience. Imagine ending a long day at the office with a spectacular dancing fountain show.”

Others who have stayed at or visited at the Burj Khalifa have noted similar quirks about the layout, though they also find the view and amenities tend to make up for it. “The hotel had long corridors and some rooms were shaped odd if you were in a room on a curve,” Larina Chen-Mehta, a principal partner at LWC Concepts tells AD . Chen-Mehta visited the Armani Hotel a few years back, and though she noted some of the rooms could be strangely shaped, “everything was impeccable in terms of the design and service.”

Still, while the various uses in the building may have certain similarities—like the floorplans—Smith was intentional in making sure each had its own identity as well. “One of the disadvantages of a Y-shaped building and plan is that when you’re entering that building, you’re basically entering it between the two of the legs,” Smith says. However, he decided to use this to his advantage by crafting distinct entryways and lobby spaces within the legs—one for each use of the building. “We designed each one of those in a different way to relate to the ethos of that function,” Smith says, adding it’s one of his favorite features of the tower. Armani took creative control of the hotel entrance, and Smith and his team designed the other two.

What is it like at the top of the Burj Khalifa?

Perhaps no one will quite understand what it feels like to be at the very top of the Burj Khalifa quite like Nicole Smith-Ludvick , a skydiver and stuntwoman, who stood on top of Burj Khalifa’s spire in an advertisement for Emirates airline. “Standing on the pinnacle of the world’s tallest man-made structure, a place where no other woman has ever been, was one of the most extraordinary and exhilarating experiences I have ever had,” Smith-Ludvick tells AD . To shoot the commercial, she went to the top of building three times for about five hours each, usually arriving right before sunrise. “At this time of day, the city is still mostly asleep, so it’s quiet and serene,” she says. “I got a bird’s eye view of the sun rising over the Arabian desert; I watched the fog roll in from the ocean and burn off as the temperature warmed up.” Other than the views, Smith-Ludvick says the most notable difference between the Burj and the ground is the noise pollution. “It was much quieter up there,” she says.

As part of a commercial for Emirates airline, Smith-Ludvick visited the top of Burj Khalifa’s spire three separate times.

However, non-stunt professionals who want to experience Dubai from the Burj Khalifa will have to settle for the Burj Khalifa observation decks, which are currently the highest points accessible for visitors. “When you’re at the top of the Burj, it feels like you’re in an airplane, as though you are surrounded by clouds, literally,” Sarah Churbuck, a financial services communications strategist in Boston, tells AD . Churbuck visited the skyscraper in 2011 with her dad, and took what she described as the “very fast” elevator to the 148th floor, one of the two observation decks at Burj Khalifa. “I went through a door to the observatory area, which I didn’t realize was outside,” she explains, “When I realized I was outside, I looked down and noticed I was standing on a wooden deck, hammered together with screws and you could see the sky in between the cracks.” Not the biggest fan of heights, Churbuck quickly dropped to her knees, and crawled back inside, “where I did not last long before taking the elevator down,” she says.

Of course, for those who don’t mind the heart-stopping heights, the experience is nothing short of magical. “I come from New York City, so I spend a lot of time atop tall buildings, and this one is marvelous,” says Christine Deussen, president of Deussen Global Communications . “The views are great, and it is not dizzying or uncomfortable at all,” she says, adding a recommendation to reserve tickets in advance to be there at sunset. According to Deussen, the building staff are friendly and helpful, you can stay for as long as you’d like, and the photo opportunities are plentiful.

Is Burj Khalifa Entrance Free?

Observation decks at the Burj Khalifa are open to the public with the purchase of a ticket.

Generally, entrance for visitors looking to stop by the observation decks at Burj Khalifa is not free, although it does depend on the circumstances. There are many different admission packages available to guests, though visits to the At The Top SKY observation deck generally cost between $108 and $150 depending on the date, time, and the visitor’s age. Visiting the lounge on the 154th floor, the highest observation deck, is reported to cost upwards of $230 per person.

What is bigger than Burj Khalifa?

While there is currently nothing taller than Burj Khalifa, this likely won’t be the case forever—since Smith has already designed a building that is set to surpass it. “Whenever you’ve done something that’s a first and somebody else wants to build something taller, they usually seek out people that have done it before,” Smith explains. Jeddah Tower, a 3,281-foot-tall tower designed by Smith, is poised to be the world’s first building spanning an entire kilometer. In 2013, construction started on the building—which will be located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia—though it was put on hold in 2018.

Smith has also been doing research into mile-high structures, though testing for these hasn’t begun yet. “We’ve done a couple of ideas on mile-high structures,” he says, “but oxygen content becomes a factor when you get that high.” At that level, architects and engineers will have to include supplemental oxygen into occupied units since people would be going in and out and wouldn’t have the opportunity to adjust to the higher altitude like in, for example, Colorado. Still, it’s a challenge that Smith, and others, are looking forward to solving. “After doing the Burj Khalifa, I always thought it was a possibility I’d do something taller,” he says.

Burj Khalifa

Le Burj Khalifa (tour de Khalifa) est l’édifice le plus haut du monde avec 828 mètres de haut . Plus de 12 000 personnes de 30 pays ont participé à sa construction. La tour était autrefois appelée Burj Dubai (Tour de Dubaï).

Pour vous aider à vous faire une meilleure idée de ce que représente cet édifice, mieux vaut le comparer au gratte-ciel le plus célèbre du monde : l’ Empire State de New York . Le gratte-ciel newyorkais mesure 381 mètres de haut (431 mètres si l’on prend en compte son antenne), soit la moitié du Burj Khalifa .

La construction du Burj Khalifa a commencé le 21 septembre 2004 et s’est achevée le 4 janvier 2010 , plus d’un an après la date prévue. Ce gratte-ciel est prisé pour accueillir un grand nombre d’étages résidentiels, ce qui est plutôt insolite jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Belvédères du Burj Khalifa

Le Burj Khalifa compte deux belvédères qui proposent des vues surprenantes . Au 124e étage , situé à 442 mètres de haut , vous trouverez celui qui était jusqu’alors l’unique belvédère de la Tour Khalifa. Il s’agit sans aucun doute du meilleur point de vue de tout Dubaï pour contempler la ville.

Le deuxième belvédère, récemment inauguré, attire désormais tous les regards depuis qu’il est devenu le plus élevé du monde (devant la Tour de Canton à Guangzhou). Situé à 555 mètres de haut , le belvédère se trouve au 148ème étage et propose de surprenantes vues où l’on peut découvrir la ville en miniature.

Vous devez savoir que les tickets s’épuisent généralement en avance. Il est donc recommandé d’ acheter le ticket en ligne sur son site internet officiel le plus tôt possible. Si vous ne souhaitez pas vous compliquer la tâche, vous pouvez réserver l'expérience sur notre site , elle inclut la prise en charge à l'hôtel et l'entrée rapide au Burj Khalifa.

La meilleure heure pour y monter et la plus demandée est celle du coucher de soleil . Si vous ne pouvez pas acheter d’entrées pour cette heure-ci, il faut savoir que la vue est plus belle de jour que de nuit puisque Dubaï n’est pas particulièrement prisée pour ses illuminations nocturnes.

Aux alentours du Burj Dubai

À côté du Burj Khalifa se trouve un grand lac artificiel où est la Fontaine de Dubaï , l’une des attractions incontournables de la ville. On trouve autour du lac des bars et restaurants , et bien sûr, le très prisé centre commercial Dubai Mall .

The Burj Khalifa: The Tallest Building in the World

Main Points

From Dream to Reality: All You Need to Know About the World’s Tallest Building – The Burj Khalifa – Facts

The Burj Khalifa was completed in 2010 formerly known as Burj Dubai, is an extremely tall skyscraper located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is renowned as the tallest building in the world, boasting a height of 828 m (2,716.5 ft). The 200 plus storey Burj Khalifa has 160 habitable levels making it the tallest structure and building in the world. Burj Khalifa features 57 elevators and eight escalators to meet the travel needs of the residents and visitors to the tower.

The tower became the world’s tallest man-made structure just 1,325 days after excavation work started in January 2004. Burj Khalifa utilised a record-breaking 330,000 cubic metres of concrete; 39,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement; 103,000 square metres of glass; and 15,500 square metres of embossed stainless steel. The tower took 22 million man hours to build. It was designed by the renowned architect, Adrian Smith, and was built by a team of over 12,000 workers.

The Eiffel Tower in the world

« A vision, an object, a symbol, the Tower is anything that Man wants it to be, and this is infinite. A sight that is looked at and which looks back, a structure that is useless and yet irreplaceable, a familiar world and a heroic symbol, the witness to a century passing by and a monument that is always new, an inimitable and yet incessantly imitated object... » (Translation of Roland Barthes, La tour Eiffel, Ed. Delpirre 1964).

It was the tallest tower in the world at the time of its construction and has been imitated in various places around the world. Overtaken in height by today’s great towers, it nevertheless remains unique.

One of the best known and most imitated monuments in the world

Since the Eiffel Tower was built, people around the world have wanted it for their own. Many monuments have imitated this symbol of Paris and France. Some are inspired by Gustave Eiffel’s work while others are either very similar or replicas.

In 1889, the year of the Tower’s inauguration, the Washington Monument with its height of 169 metres had held the world record for four years. The world would have to wait more than forty years before seeing the Tower dethroned by the Chrysler Building in New York (319 m), which was overtaken in 1949 by the Empire State Building (381 m). Today, towers reaching staggering heights are plentiful, such as the one in Taipei (508 metres) and more recently the Burj Khalifa (828 metres).

The most famous and tallest replica is found in Las Vegas , Nevada. Reaching a height of 541 feet (165 meters), it was built near a luxury hotel-casino complex in 1999. The Eiffel Tower Restaurant and its panoramic terrace offer a superb view of the Bellagio Hotel’s famous fountains.

The Blackpool Tower was built in 1894 and is 518 feet (158 meters) high. Situated along the seafront, its base is obscured by a circus and an aquarium that only reveal its upper structure. Its astonishing architecture gives the impression that the Tower is simply emerging from of the ground! Tokyo, Japan, is home to one of the most famous Eiffel Tower-inspired constructions in the world. Tokyo Tower was erected in 1958 and rises to 1,093 feet (333 meters), 30 feet (9 meters) taller than its Parisian model! Red and white by day and golden by night, it offers a magnificent view of the Japanese capital.

Two Eiffel Tower replicas were built in China. One in a theme park in Shenzhen in the South-East of the country, and the other in Tianducheng next to Hangzhou. The latter is a 1:3 scale copy of the original and weighs more than 1,000 tonnes. We find other copies in Europe, such as the one in Prague (60 metres tall) at the top of the Petrin Hill. In Slobozia , Romania, there is a copy of around fifty metres in height, just like the one in Parizh , in the South of the Ural Mountains, in Russia. In Lyon (Fourvière), the top part of the Tower has also been reproduced.

How could there be a Paris without its Eiffel Tower? Two replicas in the American cities of Paris , Texas, and Paris, Tennessee, were created in 1995 and 1993. The city in Tennessee erected its simplified Eiffel Tower, which is 60 feet (18.3 meters) high, as a tribute to the French capital. The Texas city added an original touch of local culture to its Tower, crowning it with a red cowboy hat. This 66-foot (20 meter) high tower shines in all colors at nightfall.

Miniature Eiffel Towers

Not far from the original Eiffel Tower, Elancourt is home to France Miniature, a theme park featuring replicas of French monuments including the inescapable Eiffel Tower. Its 33-foot (10-meter) high scale model has nearly identical architecture and is repainted every seven years to match the colors of the original Tower .

A little further away from the Tower, the Mini-Europe theme park in Brussels features many replicas of Europe’s most beautiful monuments. Here, the Eiffel Tower is located just a stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré Coeur Basilica, and Pompidou Center. Although it’s reduced to a height of 43 feet (13 meters), its details are no less amazing!

Other, similar theme parks have their own Eiffel Towers including Park Miniatur in Andrychow , Poland, or Parque Europa in Torrejon de Ardoz , Spain.

At Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando , Epcot park’s French pavilion boasts a 75-foot (23-meter) replica of the Eiffel Tower that’s remarkable for the fact that it intentionally doesn’t have a first floor, to create the illusion that it’s proportional to its environment. The effect is astonishing!

World Great Towers

Founded in Paris in 1989 for the Eiffel Tower’s centenary, this federation groups together towers all around the world, all of them symbols of their town or country, which display the common characteristic of both viewing platforms accessible to the public and television broadcasting antennas. The Eiffel Tower is the eldest . The tallest tower is Burj Khalifa (828 metres) and the shortest is the Bratislava UFO (95 metres).

With 50 members in over 20 countries across the world, the World Federation of Great Towers exists to showcase the great towers of the world and celebrate the astonishing feats of architecture and engineering that created them.

By Taxi: You can also take a taxi to the Burj Khalifa; while it may be the fastest option, it is the least economical one. Meter fare starts from AED 1.6/kilometer. The waiting fare is AED 0.5/kilometer. Starting fee for regular taxis is AED 3 (6:00 AM to 10:00 PM) and AED 3.50 (10:00 PM to 6:00 AM). Starting fee for pre-booked taxis is AED 6 (day) and AED 7 (night).

Burj Khalifa tickets are required to access the structure’s observation decks.
The Burj Khalifa observation decks have floor-to-ceiling glass walls—perhaps avoid if you don’t have a head for heights.
An At the Top admission ticket includes access to floors 124 and 125, while an At the Top SKY ticket allows access to floors 124, 125, and 148.
Kids under 4 years old can enter for free.
The Burj Khalifa is fully accessible for wheelchair users.
Large pieces of luggage are not allowed inside. However, you can check them in at the Secured Baggage Area located near the entrance.
You can download the official app of the Burj Khalifa “At the Top” experience where you will find all the information you need.
Make sure you arrive 15 minutes prior to your given admission time. This will give you time for a peaceful security check and other last-minute hassles. Food & Drinks are not allowed at the top, so make sure you don’t have any on you.
Both Burj Khalifa ticket options have prime and non-prime hours, with higher prices during prime hours. For At the Top tickets, prime hours are from 3:30 pm to 6 pm daily; for At the Top SKY, prime hours are from opening until 6 pm.

Burj Khalifa Vs Eiffel Tower

Sharing is caring!

I have always been fascinated by the world’s most iconic architectural marvels. Two of my personal favorites are the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Both are magnificent structures that showcase human ingenuity, creativity, and technical prowess.

In this article, I will compare and contrast these two landmarks on various parameters such as architecture, history, height, popularity, and more.

The Burj Khalifa is a modern skyscraper that stands tall at 828 meters (2,716 feet) with 163 floors. It is a symbol of Dubai’s ambitious growth and prosperity over the last few decades.

On the other hand, the Eiffel Tower is a classic example of French art nouveau architecture that was built in 1889 for the World’s Fair to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution. It stands at 324 meters (1,063 feet) with three levels for visitors to enjoy panoramic views of Paris from different heights.

The stark differences in their design and purpose make them unique in their own right but also raise intriguing questions about what makes a building truly great.

Table of Contents

Architecture and Design

The two iconic structures differ in their architectural styles and design elements, with one embodying classic elegance and the other exuding modern innovation. The Eiffel Tower, built in 1889, is a masterpiece of wrought iron lattice work that stands at 324 meters tall. Its unique design showcases its metal skeleton while also giving it an open and airy feeling. Gustave Eiffel’s inspiration for the tower was to create a symbol of France’s industrial prowess for the Exposition Universelle World Fair.

On the other hand, the Burj Khalifa, completed in 2010, is a towering skyscraper made out of steel and concrete that reaches over twice as high as the Eiffel Tower at 828 meters tall. Its sleek design features a series of wings that extend from its central core and taper towards its peak. It was designed by Adrian Smith from Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP to reflect Dubai’s status as a global hub for commerce and tourism.

While both structures are engineering marvels in their own right, they each showcase distinct styles that have come to define them over time. Moving on to their history and significance…

History and Significance

Did you know that the Eiffel Tower was initially met with criticism and deemed a ‘monstrosity’ by many when it was first built for the 1889 World’s Fair? However, over time, it became an iconic symbol of Paris and one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world.

The tower’s design was meant to showcase France’s technological advancements at the time, but it soon became much more than that. It represented a new era of progress and innovation, capturing people’s imaginations from all over the globe.

Similarly, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai also has a rich history and cultural significance. It was designed as part of an ambitious plan to diversify Dubai’s economy beyond oil, and its construction took six years to complete.

The building represents a major engineering feat and is seen as a symbol of modernity in Dubai. From both structures’ humble beginnings to their current status as architectural marvels, they continue to inspire wonder and amazement among visitors from around the world.

Speaking of which…let’s talk about height and views!

Height and Views

Get ready to experience breathtaking views and dizzying heights as I take you on a journey through the Burj Khalifa and Eiffel Tower.

Standing at an impressive height of 828 meters, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. Its observation deck, located on the 124th floor, offers panoramic views of Dubai’s stunning skyline. Visitors can also enjoy a meal at At.mosphere, which is situated on the 122nd floor and boasts incredible views of the city.

On the other hand, while not as tall as its counterpart in Dubai, the Eiffel Tower still offers spectacular views from its three levels. The first level allows visitors to see Paris from a height of 57 meters, while those who venture up to the second level will be rewarded with breathtaking views from 115 meters above ground. Finally, brave souls who are willing to climb all 704 steps up to the top will be treated to unparalleled panoramic views stretching across Paris and beyond.

As we move into discussing popularity and tourist attractions, it’s important to note that while both structures offer incredible sights for tourists visiting their respective cities, they each have unique features that set them apart from one another.

Popularity and Tourist Attractions

Let’s explore the popularity and must-see tourist attractions of these iconic structures!

The Eiffel Tower is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. It attracts millions of tourists each year who come to marvel at its intricate lattice-work design and stunning views from its observation deck. The tower is also a popular spot for romantic proposals, with couples flocking to its top floors to take in the panoramic vistas of Paris.

On the other hand, Burj Khalifa in Dubai has quickly become a must-visit destination for travelers seeking modern luxury and extravagance. In addition to being the tallest building in the world, it boasts an impressive array of high-end restaurants, luxurious spas, and extravagant shopping centers that cater to visitors from all over the globe. Its main attraction is undoubtedly its observation deck on level 148, which offers breathtaking views of Dubai’s ever-expanding skyline.

Transitioning into our next section about overall comparison and conclusion, it’s clear that both structures have their unique charms and draw visitors for different reasons.

Overall Comparison and Conclusion

It’s clear that both the Burj Khalifa and Eiffel Tower have their own unique attractions and charms.

The Burj Khalifa, being the tallest building in the world, offers visitors a chance to experience breathtaking views of Dubai from its observation decks on the 124th and 148th floors. It’s also home to luxurious hotels, high-end restaurants, and shopping malls.

On the other hand, the Eiffel Tower is known for its romantic charm and rich history. Visitors can take a ride up one of its three levels for stunning views of Paris or dine at one of its many restaurants. Additionally, it has become an iconic symbol not only for France but also for love itself.

Overall, both structures offer different experiences that are worth visiting. The Burj Khalifa may be more modern with its luxury amenities while the Eiffel Tower exudes old-world charm with its romantic atmosphere. Regardless of which one you choose to visit first, they both leave unforgettable impressions on their guests.

Well, after analyzing the architecture, history, height, views, popularity, and tourist attractions of the Burj Khalifa and Eiffel Tower, it’s safe to say that both these iconic structures are breathtaking in their own right.

While the Eiffel Tower has a timeless charm and elegance with its intricate ironwork and romantic allure, the Burj Khalifa boasts cutting-edge technology and modern design that defies gravity itself.

But beyond just physical characteristics lies a deeper meaning – both these towering landmarks symbolize human innovation and excellence. They inspire us to dream big, reach for the sky (literally!) and push ourselves to new heights.

Whether you’re gazing at Paris from atop the Eiffel Tower or marveling at Dubai’s skyline from the Burj Khalifa’s observation deck, you can’t help but feel a sense of awe at what humans are capable of achieving.

In conclusion, comparing two such iconic structures as the Burj Khalifa and Eiffel Tower is like trying to compare apples to oranges – they’re different yet equally amazing. But what truly sets them apart is their ability to inspire generations with their beauty, grandeur, and symbolic significance.

As we gaze up at these towering giants in wonderment, let us also remember that anything is possible if we dare to dream big enough!
