World’s Tallest Tower Opens in Dubai

World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

As the ailing emirate tries to re-establish the optimism it experience before the financial crisis, Dubai opened the world’s tallest building. Burj Khalifa, which took about 12,000 workers to construct, overtook its nearest rival - the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, which reaches only to a meager 508 meters.

 

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, inaugurated the 838 meter-high tower today.
