Update 30 Jan 2010: Burj Dubai renamed Burj Khalifa, height redefined.
Last week I came home after spending 10 days in the United Arab Emirates. Here is a clickable selection (pictures linked to are 30% the size of the originals) of my impressions.
Making friends at the Dubai Aquarium Tunnel at Dubai Mall.
A piece of Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.
Cranes are a mandatory part of the skyline.
Very strict regulations here.
The Grand Mosque.
This fellow seems to handle the climate better than me.
Back to Dubai and Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building at 828 818 meters.
No comment.
