Amazing view on the highest building in the world.

Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building a record of 818m metres height and the building, the centrepiece of Emaar‘s US$20 billion Downtown Burj Dubai project.
In 2008, Burj Dubai achieved the distinction of being the world’s tallest structure surpassing the KVLY-TV mast (628.8 meters; 2,063 ft) in North Dakota, USA. The tower is already taller than Taipei 101 in Taiwan, which at 508 metres (1,667 ft) was the tallest building in the world when it opened in 2004. Burj Dubai also surpassed the 31-year-old record of CN Tower, which at 553.33 metres (1,815.5 ft) has been the world’s tallest free-standing structure on land since 1976.
