Ok. If anyone lives in Dubai…..tell me how spectacular and tall it looks. Maybe include some interesting facts! Thanxs


Answer:
@ Sea Bis
you got it mixed up with Burj al Arab (tallest hotel , not tallest bldg.) , which is a different building than Burj Dubai (tallest Bldg.), the one the Justin wants to know about

@ Justin , if you have Google Earth software , turn on 3D building feature, and enter Burj Dubai in the search , it will take you to it and show you in 3D view . You can also see the other one (Burj al Arab) on the sea shore to the west.


Answer:
The Burj stands at a height of 321m. Spectacular and stunning. A 24 meter wide helipad projects from the building 210 meters above the ground.
Some random facts:
- The Al Muntaha restaurant is located 200 metres above the Arabian Gulf, offering great views of Dubai. It is accessed by a panoramic elevator.
- The atrium is 180 metres high, one of the highest in the world.
- Burj Al Arab is the world's tallest structure with a membrane facade.
- This is the tallest operating hotel building in the world (not counting mixed-use buildings like Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai or the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea).
- “Burj” is Arabic for “Tower”.
- The building's external lighting schemes, from white light to a multicolored one, change from one to another every 30 minutes expressing the evening's progress.

Add: Apologies, Justin and thanks to tin m for pointing that out.

The Burj, at 818m and 162 levels :

Have a look at these links: http://www.startpagedubai.com/real_estat…

The water in the 'Lake Fountain' in front of the Burj has just been filled last weeks. They’re still moving on.
