Almost half a mile high: The Burj Dubai I think the top of the building is still under construction. According to abc news this building is twice the size of the Empire State Building. It is quite a magnificent structure. Fun Fact: This building is allowed to sway 4ft from its initial position!!! Yes, I am kind of a nut about buildings and bridges. I can't help it. |

I saw some very beautiful concept art that Dubai is supposed to look like in the future, it was INSANE. My cousin and I are planning on going in the future because we both are into Architecture and design =)

They are building islands (or have built) to look like a palm tree and a map of the world:   |
