Megastructures the Burj Khalifa of Dubai, United Arab Emirates celebrating its 11th anniversary The vertical city in Dubai, UAE. You never have to leave it if you have no inclination to do so. But you may want to when you see the types of people who do live there. This is the story of the tallest tower ever built, the people who live and work inside the building and who initiated this landmark of the Middle East. They do always have cool fireworks, you must admit. (I was once in the tallest hotel in Shanghai on the 70th floor. Yeah, not for me. I prefer having the option of jumping out the window and landing in one piece if I have to. You know, fire or whatever) We take a look at the history of Dubai, the spectacular complexities of the building site, the adrenaline rush as workers hang hundreds of meters above ground cleaning windows, the grand opening of the world's highest restaurant Atmosphere and an insight into the safety procedures of the tower with regular evacuation drills.

1000000000% TRUE! Great observation that I noticed right away. People like her make me sick. I guess since she is really Michael Jackson you'd expect that from him.
They'll be lucky to get a 6 pack of beer and a pat on the back,while the hundreds of "important" people and pretty women get the credit and the money and vacations and you get the point,while not dripping one bit of sweat. Just the way the world will always work. If you're a fetus just pray you come from money,cuz if you don't be prepared for decades of bs
I won't go above two floors but I am in awe of the technology to build something like that. • What I'd really like to see is that lady hanging out there cleaning her own windows.
That guy’s wife just won’t shut up. Every time he starts talking she interrupts him and takes over the story. Poor guy, I wonder how long he has had to live like that. I would toss her off the top floor of that building.
I’ve been to Dubai in October last year. And I can truly say, this building took my breath away when I saw it for the first time walking out of the Dubai Mall. Simply amazing, a work of art.
Its absolutely hideous. Its a great piece of engineering marvel but aesthetician wise not so much. You can't even open your windows for a the price you have to pay. Modern building look terrible, I much prefer tradition european building with ornamental designs. They are far more valuable than the cheap modern ones and continue to retain their value.

And then they spend their evening together drinking some nice wine. In other words: there is nothing else to do there. I think I'd rather live in New York then.
I watched about a minute of that lady talking then I dropped down here to read the comments. I was not disappointed!!😆 Going back to see if I can stand to finish the whole video with her in it.
Do it for Daniela and her eyes, as well as her professional competence. She manages a team of over 300. Not only a big job for anyone, but for her to manage men in the middle east must be particularly challenging. Hopefully I'm wrong and her team is made up of true professionals.
I just got back from visiting the top of the Burj Khalifa. Wish I'd seen this documentary before! Truly amazing how tall it is. Certainly one of the best examples of human engineering of all time. The most insane part is - it's in the middle of a desert...
How long will their oil last? Mining towns were booming once. There is nothing there except money. No resources but oil and wind. I don't do deserts. CO, UT, and WY have skiing, HI, CA, and FL have beaches, Sweden has both, too.

Right, all them rich pretentious pricks keep banging on about how amazing they are and how amazing the building is, but they never seem to give respect or any acknowledgement to the workers that made it happen
@@Tokyodrift5000 Spot On Rick ! -- From what I understand , Almost all the Workers who Built the Tower were treated like INDENTURED SLAVES & got NO RESPECT from the Wealthy Arabs ~ * What they DON'T Understand is that Without all the people who did the Actual HARD WORK , There would be NO 'BURJ KHALIFAH ' !!
Yeah, you can stay there forever, as you wish... Don't bother yourself to anything 😅😅😅 This building is the product of education... This is not about comparing artificial structure and a nature...
When the interior designer lady started tapping on the glass waving at the window cleaners like they're a bunch of peasant fish was the most cringeworthy thing I've seen in awhile and then her and her husband say they couldnt be paid enough money to do that job and they both do the most stereotypical rich person laugh was just to much for me.

Money cant buy class it's all about how your raised I always tell my kids if you act crazy it's a reflection of me and the same for me I dont want people thinking my parents raised a Hardheaded moron.
She’s paying top dollar to have everything in the right place not saying she’s right for it because she’s not she seems miserable and bored but still she has the right to her liking
The design lady perhaps had the impression that the workers are worthless and trying to please her employers by being bossy to the thousands of workers who'd made the project possible.
They must reward the workers or pay tribute to them properly ! They are the reason behind that beautiful building they all give their efforts and risk their lives too. ❤️❤️❤️ My heart goes to them instead of that lady 😏
I was too distracted by her cackle to listen to the husband until they got into the jacuzzi. They said they were relaxing and not having to give instructions. They seem to go out of their way to prove to others how important they are. I don't know their significance but a real influential person does not have to attempt to make others know his significance.
She said... “if anything happens to that table I’m going to hang each and everyone of you from a tree”. I had to rewatch like 3 times... what the hell.

My memorable one year stay in Dubai...(2009-2010) in every weekend, my favorite hang out is Dubai Mall and always get to see this gorgeous ⛲...I love Dubai. I missed Dubai.
Yes, yes, but she failed to realized that those workers WERE her "columns"; Individuals like this plastic pretender, think that they're above everything else failing to realize that they're the weakest link since they will not do the work themselves nor be where they are without those who work for them doing things they themselves will not do or will fail to do.
I live in California and I'll stick to walks on the beach, hiking, jogging and smelling that mountain's early morning fresh air, my soul's wealth. Keep your wealth and artificial surroundings.
I'll take my dogs for a nice long walk in Table Mountain National Park tomorrow morning. The weatherman says there might be some rain. We will be prepared. And I can promise Karen of Dubai you will never know what you are missing: The kind of happiness that does not have a million Dollar price tag attached to it!
My uncle is one of the people who designed the cooling system of the tower and im moving to dubi to work in his company soon What a great honor for me …
The paintings in the house of that couple tells more about their character and surely their wealth: Evil and Devilish ! New York is surely celebrating for their departure. Wealth really doesn't change character, only God does ...
"Okay guys...Guys..(clap clap clap clap clap)..Hellooo.. Drill!" Thats not how you treat people. She is terrible. I was thinking she would be the type of person to knock on the windows while the people outside hanging there are cleaning and say, "Hellooo, you missed a spot! Right there!". But then she realized she cant because they cant see inside. Lol. She totally would have done that if they could have seen her.
It literally blows my mind how something can get that big, I mean to think that man can get that high off of the ground is insane. The view from the top must be incredible. You must be able to see all of UAE from there.
The workers, construction laborers deserve the jacuzzi, at least a week stay at the Armani Hotel, dinner at the At.mosphere restaurant...they're the real heroes and stars of the Burj Khalifa.
They both literally had nothin good to say about this buildin it was small compliment like you can see the clouds worst complaint eh no windows what's gonna happen when we cook 🤣🤣🤣
ADAM (PBUH), THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH, LIVED 5,800 YEARS AGO As per the genealogy of Jesus Christ given in the Bible, from Jesus through Abraham (pbuh) to the first man on earth i.e. Adam (pbuh), Adam appeared on the earth approximately 5800 years ago: 1948 years between Adam (pbuh) and Abraham (pbuh) Approximately 1800 years between Abraham (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh) 2000 years from Jesus (pbuh) till today These figures are further confused by the fact that the Jewish calendar is currently on or about 5800 years old. There is sufficient evidence from archaeological and anthropological sources to suggest that the first human being on earth was present tens of thousands of years ago and not merely 5,800 years ago as is suggested by the Bible. The Qur’an too speaks about Adam (pbuh) as the first man on earth but it does not suggest any date or period of his life on earth, unlike the Bible - what the Bible says in this regard is totally incompatible with science. 12. NOAH (PBUH) AND THE FLOOD The Biblical description of the flood in Genesis chapter 6, 7 and 8 indicates that the deluge was universal and it destroyed every living thing on earth, except those present with Noah (pbuh) in the ark. The description suggests that the event took place 1656 years after the creation of Adam (pbuh) or 292 years before the birth of Abraham, at a time when Noah (pbuh) was 600 years old. Thus the flood may have occurred in the 21st or 22nd Century B.C. This story of the flood, as given in the Bible, contradicts scientific evidence from archaelogical sources which indicate that the eleventh dynasty in Egypt and the third dynasty in Babylonia were in existence without any break in civilisation and in a manner totally unaffected by any major calamity which may have occurred in the 21st century B.C. This contradicts the Biblical story that the whole world had been immersed in the flood water. In contrast to this, the Qur’anic presentation of the story of Noah and the flood does not conflict with scientific evidence or archaeological data; firstly, the Qur’an does not indicate any specific date or year of the occurance of that event, and secondly, according to the Qur’an the flood was not a universal phenomenon which destroyed complete life on earth. In fact the Qur’an specifically mentions that the flood was a localised event only involving the people of Noah. It is illogical to assume that Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) had borrowed the story of the flood from the Bible and corrected the mistakes before mentioning it in the Qur’an. 13. MOSES (PBUH) AND PHARAOH OF THE EXODUS The story of Moses (pbuh) and the Pharaoh of the Exodus are very much identical in the Qur’an and the Bible. Both scriptures agree that the Pharaoh drowned when he tried to pursue Moses (pbuh) and led the Israelites across a stretch of water that they crossed. The Qur’an gives an additional piece of information in Surah Yunus chapter 10 verse 92: "This day shall We save thee in thy body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" [Al-Qur’an 10:92] Dr. Maurice Bucaille, after a thorough research proved that although Rameses II was known to have persecuted the Israelites as per the Bible, he actually died while Moses (pbuh) was taking refuge in Median. Rameses II’s son Merneptah who succeeded him as Pharaoh drowned during the exodus. In 1898, the mummified body of Merneptah was found in the valley of Kings in Egypt. In 1975, Dr. Maurice Bucaille with other doctors received permission to examine the Mummy of Merneptah, the findings of which proved that Merneptah probably died from drowning or a violent shock which immediately preceeded the moment of drowning. Thus the Qur’anic verse that we shall save his body as a sign, has been fulfilled by the Pharaohs’ body being kept at the Royal Mummies room in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This verse of the Qur’an compelled Dr. Maurice Bucaille, who was a Christian then, to study the Qur’an. He later wrote a book ‘The Bible, the Qur’an and Science’, and confessed that the author of the Qur’an can be no one else besides God Himself. Thus he embraced Islam. 14. QUR’AN IS A BOOK FROM ALLAH These evidences are sufficient to conclude that the Qur’an was not copied from the Bible, but that the Qur’an is the Furqaan - ‘the Criteria’ to judge right from wrong and it should be used to decipher which portion of the Bible may be considered as the Word of God. The Qur’an itself testifies in Surah Sajda chapter 32 verse 1 to 3 Alif Laam Meem. (This is) the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds. Or do they say, ‘He has forged it’? Nay, it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people to whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive guidance." [Al-Qur’an 32:1-3]
A moment of silence for all those workers who were getting instructions from that nagging designer woman! Am imagining if she was the owner of the building...
The building would have never be constructed, because she would have found something wrong with the design. You can tell what kind of a man she has. But again: Will two walk together if they were not in one accord?
Got to visit BK in late 2015 and yes, it was indeed amazing! Had a wonderful time for the couple weeks I was in Dubai! Salute to the workers, architects, and engineers who built this along with Adrian Smith!
My heart is in pain... seeing that designer lady how she nag those Indian, Filipino work for her apartment. So annoying. Those men work is not as easy as she is always wanting past work and perfection. She should be kind to them. Material things and power you cannot bring that when you die. Hate that kind of attitude. Grrrr!. This video is better if those couple's is not included. LOL! Peace!
The twin towers in New York had them before 9/11 and they was built along with the twin towers in the 1970's! This building is very difficult to do so because of the different structural aspects!
Jute, OR AT LEAST OPENED!!!!!!! ENOUGH FOR MRS MCPERFECTO TO FIT!! MAKE HER INTO A SIDEWALK PIZZA! SPLAT! ALL WORKERS WOULD ALL CLAP!!!!!!!!👍👍🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸 THEN IT WOULD BE "TUNI TIME"
I think the designer couple made this documentary. How else would you understand what it's actually like to live there. The kinds of neighbors you would have. And to the editor and narrator, @36:08 had me in tears. Gold, pure gold.

@@patrick.3 I know there are existing controversies about some Arab countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. It doesn't take away from the fact that a city like Dubai doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.
In case anyone missed the date, this documentary is 9 years old(2011). Could tell by the fact not many people were using phones to take pics but rather digital cameras.
For someone who designed their home to emulate an art gallery [in an obvious attempt to impress others], I nearly choked when the description of this huge art piece was delivered with all the aplomb of a five year old. 🤣Too bad the real story was watered down and fractured with sound-bytes from various self-serving a$$holes. But thank goodness for the few interviewees who maintained a modicum of professionalism and humility, despite their vast wealth or talent.
im a dockbuilder in nyc and i hope that foundation holds up thats very fragile place to build such a high and heavy tower well see in many years to come especially with friction piles
Did the Irritating Interior Lady really said, "If anything happens to that table, I'll hang each and everyone of you on a tree"?! Wow. She must be living a sad, shallow life full of expensive material things but no real friends.
The ones who built it was mainly from Bangladesh and India. These labourers got paid unfairly and hours of hours of work. They re unfortunately NEVER mentioned. These arabs are ruthless.
@@user-bl1zt9xg7f most of them didn’t get paid and lived very poorly. Do a little more research and you will find how they were/ are being treated. Modern day slavery. It’s sad
People with that much money< want the other people with that much money to see them. Then they can talk about all their money in the Sky Lopunge. That's why they bunch together in skyscrapers rather than buying a log cabin on a lake up in the mountains.

I was consulting on a job site near the BK. After lunch I had to use the ole WC. A business associate called out “enjoy the view!”. As I sat down, the window perfectly displays the entire height of the BK! Most impressive WC visit ever!
29:03 lol the Billionaire B.R Shetty is allegedly involved in financial irregularities and fraud involving billions of dollars. He was also barred from entering the UAE by India as this is being considered as a criminal case. He was right about not selling or renting but he probably did not consider repossession by the bank.

Karen: "What a beautiful view!"
Camera: Shows view of barren desert and some hideous buildings.
Yeah, I can’t agree with you more, what a spectacular view, Karen!!! (If I was a Karen)
You nailed it, imagine trying to compare that view to New York’s Central Park, oh dear 🤣🤣
So true!
I'll take my dogs for a nice long walk in Table Mountain National Park tomorrow morning. The weatherman says there might be some rain. We will be prepared.

The paintings in the house of that couple tells more about their character and surely their wealth: Evil and Devilish !
New York is surely celebrating for their departure. Wealth really doesn't change character, only God does ...

Beautiful documentary about the world's tallest building...the Burj Khalifa. Interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing 👍
The interior designer woman looks like she exterior designed herself.. IN PLASTIC.
"Okay guys...Guys..(clap clap clap clap clap)..Hellooo.. Drill!" Thats not how you treat people. She is terrible. I was thinking she would be the type of person to knock on the windows while the people outside hanging there are cleaning and say, "Hellooo, you missed a spot! Right there!". But then she realized she cant because they cant see inside. Lol. She totally would have done that if they could have seen her.
What would be your reaction if she did that to you?
Definitely!

Most of the labourers were from Pakistan and India. Respect ❤️
That woman trying to look expensive but not classy
It literally blows my mind how something can get that big, I mean to think that man can get that high off of the ground is insane. The view from the top must be incredible. You must be able to see all of UAE from there.

ADAM (PBUH), THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH, LIVED 5,800 YEARS AGO
As per the genealogy of Jesus Christ given in the Bible, from Jesus through Abraham (pbuh) to the first man on earth i.e. Adam (pbuh), Adam appeared on the earth approximately 5800 years ago:
1948 years between Adam (pbuh) and Abraham (pbuh)
Approximately 1800 years between Abraham (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh)
2000 years from Jesus (pbuh) till today
These figures are further confused by the fact that the Jewish calendar is currently on or about 5800 years old.
There is sufficient evidence from archaeological and anthropological sources to suggest that the first human being on earth was present tens of thousands of years ago and not merely 5,800 years ago as is suggested by the Bible.
The Qur’an too speaks about Adam (pbuh) as the first man on earth but it does not suggest any date or period of his life on earth, unlike the Bible - what the Bible says in this regard is totally incompatible with science.
12. NOAH (PBUH) AND THE FLOOD
The Biblical description of the flood in Genesis chapter 6, 7 and 8 indicates that the deluge was universal and it destroyed every living thing on earth, except those present with Noah (pbuh) in the ark. The description suggests that the event took place 1656 years after the creation of Adam (pbuh) or 292 years before the birth of Abraham, at a time when Noah (pbuh) was 600 years old. Thus the flood may have occurred in the 21st or 22nd Century B.C.
This story of the flood, as given in the Bible, contradicts scientific evidence from archaelogical sources which indicate that the eleventh dynasty in Egypt and the third dynasty in Babylonia were in existence without any break in civilisation and in a manner totally unaffected by any major calamity which may have occurred in the 21st century B.C. This contradicts the Biblical story that the whole world had been immersed in the flood water. In contrast to this, the Qur’anic presentation of the story of Noah and the flood does not conflict with scientific evidence or archaeological data; firstly, the Qur’an does not indicate any specific date or year of the occurance of that event, and secondly, according to the Qur’an the flood was not a universal phenomenon which destroyed complete life on earth. In fact the Qur’an specifically mentions that the flood was a localised event only involving the people of Noah.
It is illogical to assume that Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) had borrowed the story of the flood from the Bible and corrected the mistakes before mentioning it in the Qur’an.
13. MOSES (PBUH) AND PHARAOH OF THE EXODUS
The story of Moses (pbuh) and the Pharaoh of the Exodus are very much identical in the Qur’an and the Bible. Both scriptures agree that the Pharaoh drowned when he tried to pursue Moses (pbuh) and led the Israelites across a stretch of water that they crossed. The Qur’an gives an additional piece of information in Surah Yunus chapter 10 verse 92:
"This day shall We save thee in thy body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!"
[Al-Qur’an 10:92]
Dr. Maurice Bucaille, after a thorough research proved that although Rameses II was known to have persecuted the Israelites as per the Bible, he actually died while Moses (pbuh) was taking refuge in Median. Rameses II’s son Merneptah who succeeded him as Pharaoh drowned during the exodus. In 1898, the mummified body of Merneptah was found in the valley of Kings in Egypt. In 1975, Dr. Maurice Bucaille with other doctors received permission to examine the Mummy of Merneptah, the findings of which proved that Merneptah probably died from drowning or a violent shock which immediately preceeded the moment of drowning. Thus the Qur’anic verse that we shall save his body as a sign, has been fulfilled by the Pharaohs’ body being kept at the Royal Mummies room in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
This verse of the Qur’an compelled Dr. Maurice Bucaille, who was a Christian then, to study the Qur’an. He later wrote a book ‘The Bible, the Qur’an and Science’, and confessed that the author of the Qur’an can be no one else besides God Himself. Thus he embraced Islam.
14. QUR’AN IS A BOOK FROM ALLAH
These evidences are sufficient to conclude that the Qur’an was not copied from the Bible, but that the Qur’an is the Furqaan - ‘the Criteria’ to judge right from wrong and it should be used to decipher which portion of the Bible may be considered as the Word of God.
The Qur’an itself testifies in Surah Sajda chapter 32 verse 1 to 3
Alif Laam Meem.
(This is) the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds.
Or do they say, ‘He has forged it’? Nay, it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people to whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive guidance." [Al-Qur’an 32:1-3]

Well, of course, any Mega Structure needs it's own Mega Karen!
A moment of silence for all those workers who were getting instructions from that nagging designer woman! Am imagining if she was the owner of the building...
The building would have never be constructed, because she would have found something wrong with the design. You can tell what kind of a man she has. But again: Will two walk together if they were not in one accord?
is she the only designer????...oh what a lucky girl.
