Burj Dubai skyscraper

Last update: 4th of January 2010, new photos

Burj Dubai is the tallest building in the world overcoming its closest rival Taipei 101 by more than 300 metres.

Burj Dubai is definitely a place everyone must see. Actually, when you stay just in front of it, the building does not appear to be the tallest man-built structure in the world. But if you go one or two kilometers away, you will see the true power of optics. Burj Dubai is an enormously huge beautiful building. It is just amazingly tall. The Address Hotel which is also big seems to be a tiny house next to Burj Dubai.

And it is just unbelievable that Burj Dubai was built in 5 years!

It is located next to the Dubai Mall, the Address Hotel and Souk Al Bahar in Downtown Burj Dubai area. Just follow the Dubai Mall signs.
