Dubai
Dubai is a wondrous place, and holds the record for the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. The Burj Khalifa is 2,722ft tall, or 828 meters. The view from the top of the building is a bucket list thing to-do and it is amazing. Some people get the opportunity to even climb this beast! It can be scary though, as some people have a fear of heights. Not the window washers though, they go through the 24,348 windows one by one with a crew of people. It takes about 3 months to clean all of them.
