Photographer Daniel Chong was able to capture the skyscrapers of Dubai, rushing up through the morning mist, which sometimes covers the city.

1. «Burj Khalifa» (Arabic. «Khalifa Tower») is a skyscraper with a height of 829.8 m (with a number of floors of 163) in Dubai, the tallest building in the world. The shape of the building resembles a stalagmite.

2. «Dubai Tower» was designed as a «city within a city» - with its own lawns, boulevards and parks. The total cost of the facility is about 1.5 billion dollars.

3. «Burj Khalifa» was originally planned as the tallest building in the world. When the skyscraper was still being built, its design height was kept secret. This was done in the event that a skyscraper of greater height was designed somewhere - then adjustments could be made to the design of the Dubai Tower.

4. «Burj Khalifa» - a key element of the new business center in Dubai. Inside the complex are located hotel, apartments, offices and shopping centers. The building has 3 separate entrances: the entrance to the hotel, the entrance to the apartment and the entrance to the office space. 900 apartments occupy floors from 44 to 72 and from 77 to 108.

5. On the 122nd floor there is a restaurant Atmosphere with 80 seats - a restaurant located at the highest altitude in the world.

6. The glass does not allow dust and reflect the sun's rays, allowing you to maintain an optimum temperature in the building. The surface area of the building is approximately equal to the area of 17 football fields. The Burj Khalifa glasses are washed daily, but it takes about three months to wash the entire surface.

7. At the foot of the tallest skyscraper in the world in an artificial lake with an area of 12 hectares is the musical fountain Dubai. The fountain illuminates 6,600 light sources and 50 color spotlights. The length of the fountain is 275 m, and the height of the jets reaches 150 meters.
