Burj Khalifa's Role, Features, and Insurance Amid Gulf Missile Strikes

Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building at 828 meters, serves as a symbol of the UAE's economic growth and diversification since its 2010 opening. It houses residences, luxury hotels, offices, and observation decks attracting millions annually. Following recent missile strikes in the Gulf region targeting US military sites and locations in the UAE, the tower was evacuated as a precaution. The building is insured through a layered policy covering construction risks and political violence, arranged by Emaar Properties and reinsurers.
