A two-bed apartment in Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, has come up for auction with the reserve price starting at Dh5.625 million.

The total area of the apartment is 2,008 square feet and has been listed on the Emirates Auction website. The minimum bid increment is set at Dh50,000.

The auction closes at 6 pm UAE time on February 3. At the time of filing this report (07.25 am), there were no bids for the property.
