I woke up in the tallest building in the world

Thanks my brother for that wide angle camera cause otherwise I would not be able to capture the whole building.

The Burj Dubai, still incomplete, is already the tallest man made structure in the world. Stands at 2680ft (818 meters), it is way taller than structures like the C. N. Tower. In fact it is 60% taller than the current number one the Taipei 101, and just a little short of twice the height of the World Trade Centers (not counting the antenna). Imagine that.

We got there at dusk so there were only that many pictures we could take before it became too dark. The surrounding was still construction area so there was no walking closer or visiting. A shame, it would have been amazing (and probably quite expensive) looking down from that observation deck.

But indeed, out of all our days in Dubai we could see it from afar. From the airport, the Burj Al Arab hotel and other places. Basically so long as the weather allows and you get the line of sight, it is visible. It is that big.
