Dubai Tower vs Cn Tower

The Burj Dubai tower is still under construction in the Gulf emirate of Dubai and is now 555 meters (1,831.5 feet) tall. It has finally surpassed the 553-metre- (1,824.9-feet) CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, which held the record for the world’s tallest free-standing structure since 1976.

The state-owned development company Emaar Properties did not reveal the tower’s final projected height or its final number of storeys, which they had kept secret since they launched the project in January 2004. The Burj Dubai is expected to be finished by the end of 2008.

Dubai Tower vs Cn TowerJust time to post a couple of shots of Dubai life. I've had a little look around since landing this morning. The building under construction is the Burj Dubai tower which when completed will stand at 800m, the world's tallest. Due to complete in 2008 it will be taller than the Taipei tower or the CN Tower in Toronto. The man in the hard hat is one of many immigrant construction workers building the tower.
