A Look Inside The Burj Dubai

Standing at a reported 818 m (the official height will not be revealed until next year) and consisting of 162 floors above ground, the giant tower – described as the ‘jewel of the Gulf regions’ – is an awesome sight to behold

Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest man-made construction, towers high above the Dubai skyline, edging closer to completion.

These stunning aerial and interior images provide a glimpse into the lavish creation which has cost an estimated UD$1 billion to build, with a further three billion budgeted for the entire complex.

800 private apartments, thousands of offices, the 40,000 sq. metre Armani Hotel and an observatory 442 metres above the ground on the 124th floor are all taking shape as the grand opening in January approaches.

Sitting at the foot of the tower is the 500 acre Downtown Burj Dubai development, which when completed is expected to cost around US$20 billion, offering 30,000 homes and the world’s largest shopping mall – the Dubai Mall – covering 836,000 square metres. The Burj Dubai Mall will have areas for leisure, including a world-class aquarium, fashion show arena, a souk and an ice rink.
