Dubai renamed the world’s tallest building in honor of the ruler of Abu Dhabi less than a month after receiving a $10 billion lifeline from the neighboring emirate that defused a financial crisis. The 200-story Burj Khalifa, or Khalifa Tower, was known until yesterday as Burj Dubai. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who has ruled Abu Dhabi since 2004, is also president of the United Arab Emirates.
The 2,716-foot tower boasts the world's highest mosque, the highest swimming pool and world's highest nightclub.
