update: Burj Dubai

So Burj Dubai, or at least, Burj Khalifa as it was renamed at the last minute, is now officially open, and stands 828m high.

Unfortunately we were stuck in traffic on our way to the Creek, where we had reservations for dinner on Bateaux Dubai (again), at the moment of the fireworks so we missed seeing them, but we could see the tower twinkling away like a giant (dare I say) Christmas tree in the distance all evening. Very pretty indeed. Oh and the dinner was wonderful, I recommend it highly.



The picture above I “borrowed” from the UAE Community blog’s post on the opening, but B.D. gets all the credit. Thank you, I hope you don’t mind.

In case you missed it I found a video on youtube, enjoy.
