here are some more detailed pictures of the Burj the man behind it all again

actually its 3 towers connected by several bridges at several different levels, that combine at the top to look like one tower, pretty cool

well accordingly to Emaar, that pace is a floor a week another thing, those pics are of the CORE of the Burj, the floors will be built around it, so it will be much bigger than that

does that apply to the US as well, cause apparently its supposed to be the greatest empire of all...

no u would not stick out, no one sticks out in dubai, unless u have something growing out off ur a$$ , or a third eye, then u might stick out, dubai, is a cool place to visit, but best time to visit is between Novemeber and May, the other months are just too damn hot, hotels range between 70$ and can go up to 7000$ a night, depends on how much u wanna spend, try to talk to ur travel agent, or contact an emirates airline office in ur country/ city, then can giv eyou a nice package , (which usually includes airfare and hotel accomodations) resturants can range between $2 a meal upto $300 a meal, depends where u go, and how much u wanna spend, its a city for all, good luck for now

sorry guys the pics didnt work, but here is the link, where i posted them http://www.angelfire.com/d20/darkblueboss/Burj.html enjoy

here are the pics (were taken this morning) this is a pic of the towers that will be next to the Burj Dubai it self this is a picture of the initial foundation that is being done for the Burj, while i was there the engineer was talking about how it is on hold for now, because there are rumors about another project some where else which is targeting the title of the worlds tallest, so Dubai has put Burj Dubai onhold on order to decide what will the final high will be , in order for it to be number 1 this picture here, showing the construction being done on the base for the Dubai Mall (world's largest) these pics are just a view of Sheik Zayed Road from the a burj residence tower (39th floor)

i am trying this out, maybe this will work, if does, this picture was taken this morning actually, of the burj dubai residence, not the Burj it self, just some of the surrounding towers around it

if someone can tell me how to add my own pics (not web pics) i would post some pics of the construction going on, i took a few pics when i was onsite, maybe i can share with everyone,

mind you the this tower, will include the world's largest mall, here are some pics

maybe you should note the Dubai, currently doesnt have any oil, oil represents only merely 6% of its income, the other 94% come from other forms of businesses projects, tourism, etc......... maybe Saudi since most of its income is from OIL .

A Small list of projects that are happening in Dubai, in which some are already mentioned all over this forum, Burj Dubai (Tower) (+800 meters) completion expected 2008 Dubai Land (Multi-City Theme Adventure Park, over 3 billion square ft and a price tag of $11 Billion) completion of all phases 2020 Dubai Water Front (world's largest water front project, residential, offices, islands, world's longest canal [extending into the desert, creating 350km of new shore lines for dubai) Palm Island Jumeirah (palm tree shapes island) Palm Island Jebel Ali (Palm tree shaped island , twice the size of jumeirah island) Palm Island Deira (another palm island, bigger and bigger) Jumeirah Beach residence (almost 60 high rise, beach residential towers) Dubai Airport Expansion (price tag $4.1 billion) New- Jebel Ali Airport + Jebel Ali Airport City (International airport linking sea-port to airport , including all facilites, liesure to residential, to offices with in a complex of 800+ high rise towers) Dubai Festival City , (residential Villas + severalGolf Courses) Dubai Mall (Emaar claims it to be the largest in the world) Mall of Arabia (Dubai Land claims it to be the largest in the world) Emirates Mall (among the largest in the region including indoor ski hill + lift) Al Burj Tower (previously the Pennicale, rumors about it competing for the title of the worldest talles tower) (Part of Dubai Water Front) Hydropolis (world first luxury underwater hotel) The World (World Map shaped islands) Dubai Light Rail System (light rail system, connecting all of dubai "Monorail")(accliamed to be the worldest largest mono-rail system) Dubai Business Bay (which includes expanding dubai creek, and ofcourse, fill it with high rise towers, inorder to become business center of the region) Dubai Lost City (residential complex, taking its theme from different incient cities from around the world) Dubai International Financial Center + Dubai Gate (High rise towers, very creative designs, in order to make dubai the financial center of the region) Jumeirah Islands (Residential Villas in the desert however, surrounded by water , to take the shape islands) Dubai Crystal Dome (proposed cystal dome [residential] and base for dubai railway sytem) I am sure that I missed out of other projects, so if anyone remembers any be my guest and add them,

ok, i guess this is the most amazing project in dubai so far, Location Master Plan 1- Al Ras 2- Outer Corniche 3- Inner Corniche 4- The Peninsula 5- Madinat Al Arab 6- Al Mina 7- The Riviera 8- The Promenade 9- No Pictures Yet 10- The Exchange All pictures are courtesy of www.thedubaiwaterfront.com

I guess the pinnacle is no longer called the pinncale, its the Al Burj , and its part of the dubai water front project , www.thedubaiwaterfront.com so far, the craziest thing i've seen in dubai . . .

was this in Today's paper . i didnt hear about it, where did you hear / read about it ???? thats pretty cool, that Jebel Ali is looking pretty good, with this project, the palm, the dubai land, and J/Ali airport city, man, it kinda feels as if we are working out way towards AD, maybe take over

U could be right, i have to agree with you from a marketing prospective, however, it would be neat to see both companies compete for the title, the same way Dubai Mall and Mall Of Arabia are competing for the title of the world's largest mall, however, i think Burj Dubai would be a better representation of what dubai is, and it would never difficult to implement a project like the Pinnacle, especially that some people are a little hesistant now in regards to water front properties, due to the current events that took place recently, (south east asian tsunami, and the mini tsunami that the UAE received a while back) DarkBlueBoss

Dubai Business Bay Project, Phase 1 (Free Zone) =================SOLD OUT============================

Late last year, it was revealed that Nakheel has plans to build a tower, called The Pinnacle, taller than Emaar

Business Bay: Dubai announces another huge project ================================================ Dubai is to build yet another multi-billion dirhams development project. The Business Bay, unveiled by General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and UAE Defence Minister, intends to create a new commercial and business cluster that will be located along a new extension of the Dubai Creek. It is to extend from Ras Al Khor to Shaikh Zayed Road, stretching 64 million sq ft, a Gulf News report said. 'We wanted to build a project that will be the cornerstone of a new economic push and to extend the international role of the UAE. Extensive studies done by some of the top international consultancies said Business Bay is a project that will surely make the desired change,' he said. Mohammad Al Gergawi, CEO of Dubai Holding, said: 'Business Bay reflects the ambitious vision of Dubai and the role that the UAE is looking forward to play as a leading international commercial and business centre. 'The essence of the project the first of its kind in the region lies in extending the Dubai Creek to allow for the construction of a huge new city within the city.' He added, 'The importance of this unique project lies not only in its size or cost, but also in the tremendous impact it will have on the local economy.' Business Bay will be managed by Dubai Properties, one of Dubai Holding's entities. Business Bay will feature facilities such as towers for offices and accommodation, gardens, and a road network. It will also feature fascinating canals to add to the magnificence of the project. ================================================ there is a picture of an artists impression of what it's supposed to look like, but i dont know how to add picstures to this forum, if someone would tell me how, i would post some nice pics,
