That’s tall, isn’t it? Though Dubai might not be high up on your vacation list, as we’ve frequently posted about various unfortunate mishaps travelers have gotten themselves in over there (mostly at the airport and involving poppy-seeded bagels), I think it might be worth it to jet over there once the Burj Dubai opens.
It’ll be hands-down the world’s tallest skyscraper. Here’s a multimedia introduction to the place. First, a cool video with unique footage from the top.
Now, some unbelievable photos here, here, and here. My favorite is this one that seems almost CGI.
