The Burj Khalifa has 57 elevators and 8 escalators, with some traveling at a top speed of meters per second (about km/h or mph). Key features include the world's longest single-run elevator, which travels stories, and double-decker elevators that travel a 504-meter distance to the highest observation deck at 638 meters. The elevators also have advanced features like emergency braking, pressurization systems to prevent ear discomfort, and seismic sensors. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
