The Burj Dubai is on track to become the tallest man made structure on earth when it is completed at the end of next year. At present it sits at 120 storeys tall (already more floors than any other building in the world) and is just over half it's projected completed height of 800 plus metres! To give you an idea, the current tallest building in the world is the Taipei 101 which is massive as it is, and is a mere 555 metres in comparison. As Dubai is so flat, you can see the Burj more or less from everywhere in the city, just not from my bedroom window as they've begun work on Big Ben next door! Originality people! So here's a quick phone snap coming home from work the other day.
