Grand opening
It is often said that first impressions count. On the 4th of January 2010 Burj Khalifa was inaugurated with the most spectacular show of fireworks.I am the power that lifts the world’s head proudly skywards, surpassing limits and expectations.
Rising gracefully from the desert and honouring the city with a new glow, I am an extraordinary union of engineering and art, with every detail carefully considered and beautifully crafted.
I am the life force of collective aspirations and the aesthetic union of many cultures. I stimulate dreams, stir emotions and awaken creativity.
I am the magnet that attracts the wide-eyes tourist,eagerly catching their postcards moment, the center for the world's finest shopping, dining and entertainment and home for the world’s elite.
I am the heart of the city and its people: the marker that defines Emaar’s ambition and Dubai’s shining dream.
More than just a moment in time, I define moments for future generations.
I am Burj Khalifa.
