Is there oxygen at the top of burj khalifa?
Yes there is.
Generally at 800 meter above sea level there is no scarcity of oxygen. But the air pressure may cause a problem.
In Burj Khalifa, to be on the safe side, very thick glasses are used for top floors and there are no windows that can be opened. Also Oxygen is pumped into these floors from the bottom of the building.
