The damn crane is in the middle of the pic - damn bastards :P It was not doing anything, just being idle :|

Took this next pic from my friend's car. Nearly every single building on the main part of the 'Sheikh Zayed Road' is included (didn't get a few pics on the right). I should concider designing some Dubai scenery for flightsim :D (I'm serious) :mrgreen:

Thanks, too bad that the crane was slightly in the way - kind of ruins it in a way, but anyway :)
I took more today - up close - me and my friend were planning to go inside, but we wasted like 20 minutes driving around, looking for a parking area, so we never went inside since he had to pick up his brothers and sisters from the park :( - we will however try and get there on Tuesday, and actually go and take a look inside the building.
By the way, these two French dudes decided to go jumping off the building with parachutes during the opening of Burj Khalifa (apparently, it took them 2.5 hours to get to the top of the building by stairs :O) - when they landed, they were arrested and soon later, deported from the country.
By the way, Burj Khalifa is now the official name of the building - it is no longer Burj Dubai since Abu Dhabi (the capital of the United Arab Emirates) had to help Dubai finish the building since they were out of money.
