The world’s tallest structure in chocolate, which is a replica of the Burj Khalifa, is on display from Sunday for air travellers into the UAE to marvel at inside Dubai International airport.

Downtown Dubai has added to the area’s collection of public art with Rhims Gazelle Herd Edition 1, a bronze sculpture of a herd of gazelles, cast in clay and moulded in wax, symbolic of one of the region’s native animals.

The Burj Khalifa will mark its fourth anniversary with celebrations beginning on Saturday. The world’s tallest building – a UAE and global landmark – will offer a week of special events.

The innermost secrets of the city’s most famous landmarks are to be laid bare in a new television series. State-of-the-art computer-animation techniques peel away the surface layers of buildings such as the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab and delve deep to reveal the technological marvels inside.

The Burj Khalifa is taller than any other building on Earth, but its observation deck does not make it as World Number One. A list of the world's tallest viewing platforms puts the Burj's At the Top in third place behind the decks on two towers in China.
