The construction of Burj Khalifa started in the year 2005, and it took approximately five years to complete this landmark of sheer elegance and luxury.
The entrance lobby of Burj Khalifa has a sculpture made with 196 cymbals named World’s Voices; the water dripping from the ceiling gently creates an orchestra of sounds meant to symbolize the different voices of people around the globe.
