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?

I wonder how you get a crane DOWN from the world’s tallest building… It’s not like you can use another crane LOL.

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*

That’s a pretty impressive building. I bet you had to get a good distance away just to fit it all in the camera frame.

The Burj Dubai is a modern marvel of engineering standing at 818 metres tall it’s the tallest man made structure in the world.
The Burj Dubai will have its grand opening on the 1st of December this year.
