World Tallest Building

The fabulous oil-rich kingdom of Dubai now has world's tallest building; taller even than the Taipei 101 in Taiwan.

Dubai, center of the United Arab Emirates, has become a thriving metropolis. The tower is a symbol of its global power.

This titanic tower known as Burj Dubai will be finished in late 2008. Arabs are proud of their architectural icon. At twice the height of New York's Empire State building, now the tallest building in New York City, the Burj Dubai Tower can be seen from 60 miles away.
