The Burj Dubai is a building currently under construction in the new 2km development known as "Downtown Dubai". It is due for completion in 2009 and is already the tallest man-made structure in the world. Dubai has recently emerged as a top holiday destination and is a very up-and-coming and wealthy country. I think this building is a way for Dubai to prove themselves as serious players in the financial world - to show of their wealth and promote what could almost be considered as 'Dubai the brand'.

There is something about that building that looks very painful. Just me?
Yeah, wouldn't want a parachute jump to go wrong around there...
