Burj_Dubai-DubaiFinally, after years of construction, Dubai is set to open doors for the world to see the tallest building made ever on 4th Jan 2009. This mammoth 160th plus story structure could pave the way for the revival of Dubai’s economy which has been in trouble since December in 2009. With many creditors abandoning Dubai and looking for other sources of investment, this could be one of the critical phases of Dubai.

Burj Dubai has many jewels to display, with the world’s first Armani Hotel, 3000 residential houses, 9 hotels, a 30 acre lake just to name a few.

Developers have commented that even the 50 percent crash across the city, the prices of residences in Burj Dubai have stayed afloat.

World records: Currently Burj Dubai holds the record for Tallest Skyscraper ever built*828m), Building with most floors (160), World’s fastest elevator (65km/hr) just to name a few.

Cost: US $ 1.5 billion

    It has bee named as “Burj Khalifa” and it was built to diversify the business portfolio of Dubai from Oil country to a Tourist country. The king wanted something spectacular and unique and the result is the world’s highest man made structure!
