Wow very beautiful! However I had no idea that it only opened today, it looked done from the last time I went to Dubai, anyways Marbook to them :D and Mabrook to Khalifa (Who is that anyways lol)
I agree with everyone about the name.. But I guess it's well-deserved 'cause he did help Dubai with it's loans... Fel nihaya *in the end* it's just a name.
missed it..someone was watching TV and I didn't feel comfortable enough to ask her to change the channel.
anyway..I'm still gonna call it Burj Dubai. no offense to Sheikh Khalifa, he seems like a very nice guy. but it honestly sounds like a regular building you'd find in Ruwi. not catchy enough for the tallest building in the world.

I just saw clips of both Burj Khalifa's opening (need to get used to the name) and Atlantis (which I hadn't seen before believe it or not! ) and I must say both are outstanding and mindblowing!!
Some interesting facts from the BBC link that Moosa provided:
Quote:
The tower also lays claim to the highest occupied floor, the tallest service lift, and the world's highest observation deck - on the 124th floor.
The world's highest mosque and swimming pool will meanwhile be located on the 158th and 76th floors.
Burj Khalifa will be home to 1,044 luxury apartments, 49 floors of offices and eventually a 160-room Armani-branded hotel. Around 12,000 people are expected to live and work in the tower, which is part of a 500-acre development.
