An interesting fact about the 16-storey Burj Khalifa is the time of Iftar. The general rule for breaking the fast in Ramadan is to break the fast as soon as the sun sets. But for those in the Burj Khalifa, the matter is not so simple. Usually when the sun goes down,
everyone in Dubai is breaking their fast. Then the people on the ground floor from the first floor to the eighth floor of the Burj Khalifa are breaking their fast. The people upstairs are not breaking their fast. Why? Because the sun is still visible. What else to do! Wait another two minutes, residents of the 60th floor to the 150th floor. Two minutes later when they are breaking their fast, the people above 150th floor are not breaking their fast, because they can still see the sun! What to do? Wait another minute. The sun has set? Yes, then break your fast now.
