Talk about scale-jumping.

A quote from the site: "This is a city on crack" refering to the, when complete, 1200 m high tower "Al Burj" and the general relationship to development in Dubai and the Middle East right now.

Some fun facts about Dubai:
  • There are more construction workers in Dubai than there are actual citizens.
  • Dubai is said to currently have 15-25 % of all the world's building cranes.
  • The world's largest amusement park today is the Disney world resort in Orlando, FL with 58 000 employees. Dubailand will be twice the size and have an estimated 200 000 visitors each day.
