The Tallest Building in the World Cut & Assemble Burj Khalifa A. G. Smith

Just about anyone can build this magnificent 2-foot-high replica of the world’s tallest sky-scraper with little more than scissors and glue! Complete, easy-to-follow instructions and clear diagrams guide crafters in constructing an authentically detailed model of the Burj Khalifa, a 2,717-foot structure located in the center of downtown Dubai. This expertly designed model is fun and educational for ages 10 and up.

Dover Original.

BURJ KHALIFA FUN FACTS!

It’s presently the Tallest Building in the World (as of

January 2010)

It has 160 habitable floors! (If you count the floors used

for mechanical purposes such as air conditioning equip-

ment, there are 206 floors!)

The skyscraper was originally called Burj Dubai (burj

means “tower” in Arabic). It was renamed to honor

Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, ruler of Abu Dhabi.

It stands 2,717 feet (828 meters)!

The tallest building in the United States is Chicago’s

Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. At a height of 1,451 feet,

it reigned as the world’s tallest building from 1973 to

1996.

Even if you put New York’s Chrysler Building on top of

the Empire State Building, that still wouldn’t equal the

height of the Burj Khalifa!

More than 12,000 people will occupy the building’s 6

million square feet!

The Burj Khalifa has the highest observation deck in the

world (on the 124th floor)! On a clear day, it’s a 60-mile

(100 kilometer) view!
