In the midst of the arab nations, a region where war has been waged for many years, a region where war has destroyed most of the countires such as Iraq and Afghanistan, leaving the region to be classified as a third world region, lies a city within a country who does contain the wealth to build the largets and most impressive building in the world. The building is called Burj Khalifa, and is located within Dubai of United Arab Emirates. This is classical irony because the country is one of the smallest countries in the world. According to (http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/populations/ctyareas.htm) its the 80st smallest country out of the 192 countries that is recorded in the world. This small country in the world is a major player in the worlds import and export business, proffiting more than fifty billion in the year of 2007, their major money producer is oil. This is so surreal one of the smallest countries in its area and the world still makes more than its neighberouing countries, and the fact that the country is in the midst of a war struck region, makes these facts even more surreal. What tops this all of is that this small arab country build the largest building in the world and contains the best looking downtown core. This Surreal building is two and half times more larger then the Canadian CN tower, and was the largest building in the world even before construction was done. I want to stand on top of the building to see how everything would look from up there. I bet everything in my view would be minuscule even more concise then a pragraph. The building stands at 800+ meters, at first it does not sound like alot but if compared to the averge person who comes out to 1.5 meters, one can see the magnitude of the building, you would need about sevenhundred and fifty human beings to be as tall as the Dubai building. With an aboservation deck on level 124 anyone can enjoy the view, the day time and the night time view. How the time of day switches the feeling of the view of the city is so surreal how can the day time view of the citys core accompany a certain feeling which is usually calm and relaxing and the night time view bring upon feelings which are ussualy filled with excitement. 
Overall the whole enitity of the building seems surreal, the building broke multiple records, a total of seven records. The broken records would be tallest building in the world, tallest free-standing structure in the world, Highest number of stories in the world, highest occupied floor in the world, Highest outdoor observation deck in the world, elevator with the longest travel distance in the world, and the tallest service elevator in the world. Not only has the building broken records but has put put everything in this one building which is also surreal. The building includes an observation deck on level 124, fine dining restaurant on level 122, 900 residences, thirty-seven office floors, hundred and sixty guestrooms and suites, hundred and fortyfour private residences, a Park which consits of eleven hectares park, six water features, 3000 underground parking spaces, and 4-storey fitness and recreation annex. The builders have placed a whole downtown core within the building.
