This masterpiece, worth $2 billion, was created to put Dubai in the international spotlight and secure it a firm place on the world map. The Y-shape of the tower is not only aesthetically impressive but also has a practical function, as it protects the tower from strong winds that rage around the imposing 828 meters of the building. Those who manage to reach these heavenly heights will be rewarded with a unique view of the city.
