Dubai's Burj Khalifa is empty with more than 200 metres of the skyscraper almost deserted. The world's tallest building was completed in 2010 and stands a massive 830 metres (2723 feet) tall.It's home to thousands of residents and is crammed with luxury homes, state-of-the-art entertainment spaces, and even outside pools.
