Beginning the year the arabs started it tall, in fact taller than ever before.

Formerly known as the planned ‘Burj Dubai’, the ‘Burj Khalifa’, in dedication to the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, will be defining Dubais landscape in future.

The opening ceremony for the Burj was marked by a dazzling fireworks display that wreathed the tower in stars and smoke. The final height of the tower, which has been shrouded in secrecy, was also revealed to be 2,717ft (828 metres).
