Burj Dubai (now renamed as Burj Khalifa) had its inauguration tonight about 2 hours ago and it was an amazing array of Fireworks, light and sound displays.
im yet to download my pics but ill do that once i get a chance. unfortunately ive been sick, so i decided to stay away and take pictures from far.
This magnificent feat of engineering excellence breaches all boundaries. Dubai still has a long way to go in many respects, but as an engineering feat at 828m, twice as tall as the empire state building...wow. the 2nd tallest building stands at 501m. This thread is dedicated to what everyone here calls "The Burj" or translated from arabic, "The Tower"
heres a few pics from the local paper
