Opened in January 2010 after six years of construction, designed by Adrian Smith of SOM and named after Abu Dhabi's ruler Sheikh Khalifa.
What makes Burj Khalifa particularly convenient is its proximity to Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall metro station – just 5 minutes on foot. You don't need to plan complicated logistics; just tap your metro card and you're practically there.
While you're in the area, consider checking out The Dubai Mall and Dubai Fountain – they're near the same metro station and can easily be combined into a single trip.
