On the Fast Track in Dubai
Sunday July 22, 2007
It's not finished yet, but the Burj Dubai is now the tallest building in the world, according to its developer, Emaar Properties. Dubai has become a showplace for innovative buildings, and the Burj Dubai is shaping up to be an icon for wealth and progress. The unfinished skyscraper now rises higher than Taiwan's Taipei 101, which rises 508 metres (1,667 feet). When the Burj Dubai is completed it will boast:
- 160 floors
- 56 elevators
- boutiques
- corporate suites
- luxury apartments
- swimming pools
- a spire that can be seen 60 miles away

It is better that Muslims have the tallest building in the world. It will be interesting to see if any other builder in the world will try some one upmanship.
How dare you defeat the CN tower!
Does being a Muslim building reduce its risk of airplane collision?
please you all, stop hating muslims. by just being a muslim one doesn’t becomes a terrorist
Untrue… not only does being muslim make you a terrorist, it makes you terrible at spelling.
COOL BEANS
i thinkzzzz that thizzzzzzzz buildinnggzzzz iszzzzzzzz coooooollllllxzzzzzz
!
rrrrrrr coool building maybe in 2010 people say city of architecture becouse in dubai lot of diffrent style building and so cools and one thing USA defense system too good but terrorist dodge him (I don’t belive) and in
UAE, Saudi Arabia not making Wepons and they have not a lot of type of missile and other things (Saudi Arabia main city of muslim) and all people call muslim want fight or terrorist please open your eyes and just check
saudia arabia and uae miliatrity power then tell who is terrorist.(we are not makeing Weapons so how our people have this type of things) time for you think about it. Take care
all of you call Muslims terrorist….. they become terrorist becoz of what?… just thihk by yourself… if you at their position what will you do?…. they also want freedom just like you… AllahuuAkbar…….
I think y’all should stop f***ing around with other people’s religion and beliefs. Just focus on being good at what you do, and use your brain before you speak. Doesn’t matter who you are or what skin colour you’re at , I believe that jealousy and hatred only makes you the worst creature on this soon ending world.
So, let’s respect each other and understand that even Muslims are prohibited from insulting other people’s beliefs.
So let’s get back to the story,I think this building is so BIGG..(and please.. no more hatred.. ’cause no matter how rich and big you are, it’s still Allahuakbarr..!!)
You don’t have to be muslim to be a terrorist all people are able to perform terrorist acts. Do we forget Hitler? and all the rest? but to build a tower of this magnitude takes several people with one vision in mind to achieve greatness for the better of mankind not through killing and maiming humans. They can be proud of there achievement with the help of many a diverse people that help to build this great building…
This is really a revelation in the making. A passage from the noble koran estates that “when the shepherds of the desert starts to compete in erecting worlds tallest building…then it is almost time for the judgement day”. I really don’t know but almost all the signs in the bible and the koran regarding “the end of times” are now slowly being revealed one after the other. I’ve also check out what Nostradamos predictions in the years to come and somehow there is a similarity. Well Im not really a doomsday junkie person but I think this is really quite interesting… Well as an old song goes… Que sera sera…. Peace be upon you all!!!
