The Burj Khalifa is in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is considered the world's tallest building, at a height of 2,722 feet, or just over half a mile. It has been the tallest building in the world since 2009, supplanting Taipei 101, the previous holder.
The Burj Al Arab is one of the tallest hotels in the world, although 39% of its total height is non-occupiable space. It is on an artificial island that is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The shape of the structure is designed to resemble the sail of a ship.
