If you read my Plane Experiences. Then you will know that I went to Dubai in the half term and went up the tallest building in the world! It is called the Burj Khalifa fornally known as ( Burj Dubai )and is 828m high! The highest observation deck ( the highest the general public can go) is 555m. You can buy flats in it which are pretty pricey...It was opened on 1st October 2009. Here are some pictures of my visit up there!
The Architect (Adrian Smith) got a bit bored when the Burj was finished so he decided to make an ever bigger one! His next building is supposed to 'Cheat The Wind'. It will be called Kingdom Tower and is in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is going to be 1008m (more than a kilometer!) It will be finished by 2017 if everything goes to plan and there aren't any delays. Here's a picture of it.
See ya' later, Alligator.
