10 Things you didn’t know about Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (With Pictures)

9. Inside the Building

If you think that the outside is something to behold, you should wait until you see the inside. Not only does the Burj Khalifa hold offices, but there are floors with things you wouldn’t ever think belong there. The observatory deck of the Burj Khalifa is at 1483 feet towards the top of the building, which also holds 163 floors above ground and one floor below. There are 58 elevators that run at a speed of 10 meters per second, which are among the fastest in the world. There are also 2957 parking spaces, 304 hotels and 904 apartments. If you are wondering about the safety of everyone inside, no need; the Burj Khalifa has an elevator system that is designed for controlled evacuations during such incidents as security threats or fires.
