The Burj Dubai, now known as Burj Khalifa, primarily utilizes reinforced concrete for its structure, supplemented by glass and steel. The concrete is derived from local materials, including limestone and aggregates sourced from nearby quarries.

Overall, while traditional rocks like limestone were used in the concrete mix, the primary building material is concrete rather than individual rock types.
