Current Skyline - #170


As it changes so often, I thought I'd give you an update Dubai skyline.

Second from left is now the seventh tallest building in the world, at 103 floors it is about two thirds built and will be the highest in the world by the end of the year at approx 700 to 800m high. Far right is the twin towers of Emirates Towers Hotel and Business Tower...

The skyline changing quickly is something Dubai and Kuwait have in common. Beautiful pic Bluey, Beautiful.

Theres a tower in the center.. cant make out which one it is.. That looks taller than the Emirate Towers.. doesnt it?

Marco said...

Yes, it's the Rose Rotana Hotel.

It is still under construction and they just about to finish the cladding of the top. It is taller than the Emirates Towers- in fact it will be the tallest hotel in the world. Yet another superlative :)
