World's highest observation deck 'Burj Khalifa At The Top' has been voted as the 'Best Attraction' in the world for 2015 in an international poll, surpassing Disney World's Magic Kingdom and Britain's London Eye.
The poll conducted by Attractiontix, an online ticket specialist for attractions around the world, asked thousands of voters to choose their favorite leisure attraction from 15 categories over a period of two week.
'The 2015 Worldwide Attractions Awards' winners were chosen from thousands of votes by people from around the world, a statement said.
The viewing deck also came second to The Empire State Building in the 'Best Observation Deck' category and was voted the 'Most Romantic Attraction or Tour 2015' next to The Eiffel Tower, underlining the strong popularity of Burj Khalifa globally.
Standing at a height of 829.8 meters, the observation deck of Burj Khalifa offers visitors the rare opportunity to soak up views of the city and beyond.
The structure with over 200 storeys and highest number of floors also holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest building.
