Burj Dubai revisited

Ever wondered what happened to the world’s tallest building being constructed in Dubai?

Burj Dubai in December 2007

~The Burj Dubai on December 2007~

We last visited Burj Dubai last exactly one month ago in December and surprised to see that the glass panels are in place already. The full height is not disclosed and looking at this photo, it looks like the construction is not going to end just yet. 

Even when still under construction, Burj Dubai has surpassed Taipei 101 and became the tallest building in the world.

By the way, aren’t you amazed how the cranes end up at the top?

  1. Wow, I never fail to be amazed at such buildings. On our tv they are often showing documentaries about how they are built and it’s just mind-boggling.
    But Robin’s right: How DO they get the cranes down in the end? *scratches head*
