I'm not a fan of heights but the view from the top floor should be impressive...

One of the houses on those little islands has been built too, still too close to the neighbours but it's a start I guess :)

Cool. My brother stopped by Dubai on the way to his honeymoon in the Maldives. Whilst there he jumped in a cab and asked to go see the Burj. The cab drivers just basically drive onto the building site its on and you can go have a look. Phot's and video of it look impressive.

 

Apparently they are going to be building something even taller, also in Dubai

Blatantly put the top bit on just to be 'the biggest'

 

And also to say "Thanks for the oil money - look how much we've ripped you off by :d".

 

I'm not sure I'd be up for swimming outdoors when 78 floors off the ground, but an impressive bit of engineering nonetheless.
