Dubai Tallest Buildings 2010 2012

One such place is Dubai, which is the commercial capital of middle east (atleast by now). It is now ‘officially’ the home of the world’s tallest skyscraper. Sorry…make that the world’s tallest super-tall skyscraper (considering a lot of buildings have the title ’skyscraper’). So what does it take to qualify as super-tall? Well, there is no maths for this…it is kind of a ‘thumb-rule’…A building with atleast 300m (~1000ft.) in height can have the title. And 300m is tall, very very tall. So what about the tallest building in Dubai then? At an insanely 818m (holy mother earth!), it is by far the tallest structure ever made by man. Number of floors? A mind boggling 164 !!! In a comparative scale, Sears Tower (which use to have the most number of floors) has only 108. So that’s Sears Tower x 1.5 ! The building is named Burj Dubai.
