5 Countries With the Most Skyscrapers

3. United Arab Emirates

Number of Buildings Taller Than 150 Meters: 325

The United Arab Emirates is a Middle Eastern country that serves as a hub for global business and finance. It has the second highest number of buildings taller than 300 meters, which currently sits at 32. The United Arab Emirates also has the honor of housing the tallest building in the world, the supermassive Burj Khalifa. The Burj stands at 829 meters tall and is a multipurpose building with communications floors, offices, observatories, restaurants, a hotel, and residential apartments. It is also used for BASE jumping, but since the building is not linked to ground municipal systems, its 15,000 tons of daily sewage is quietly whisked away by trucks.
