The world's tallest building has officially opened in Dubai. Construction of the Burj Dubai (as it was previously known) has taken six years to complete.
The Burj Khalifa, named after the leader of Abu Dhabi, is 2,716ft high, easily surpassing the former record holder, Taipei 101.
The tower holds many other records such as the world's highest occupied floor, the tallest service lift, and the world's highest observation deck...on the 124th floor!
The world's highest mosque and swimming pool will also be halfway to the skay on the 158th and 76th floors.
The tower will also be seen in the upcoming Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol movie starring Tom Cruise.
