Simply Amazing! I saw this tower being built little by little over the Dubai skyscape, but could never imagine its final height i.e 828meters (The final height was kept a suspense). And this fireworks was simply awesome.....

it need powerful and strong public support to bring back the economy into normalcy from the slowdown/recession.

General masses have to show their continuous confidence into the Financial sector of the country and STOP rumors about the issue.

People need to check what individual measures shall be adopted to contritbute to support the cause.

Such extravaganza events LIKE launch of Automated METRO RAILS (without drivers) and opening of BURJ Dubai (tallest Tower in the World) would definitely required at this point of time to demonstrate the World the solidarity among UAE and GCC regional countries .

Wow..it was amazing and wonderful....pride of UAE ...

and to the Region as well....no doubt spent a huge amount to SHOW their presence on the Global Map.....the opening ceremony was covered by all over the world's media. The new name is 'BURJ KHALIFA' as a token for supporting Dubai with US$ 10B in such time of debt crisis.

I am with Jack....all its neighbours will take another 25 years to reach close to Dubai.

Dubai never compromises when it comes to show off its strength and some newly constructions to outside world..V have even witnessed the way they inaugrated ATLANTIS hotel..They r simply stupendous in this skill..No one can beat them..I have witnessed the firworks during EID as well..

its really a model of great thinking, dedication and contribution of whole team who practically worked for completing Burj Al Khaleefa.

Dubai's credibility of keeping the workers on their jobs and not looking into exodus are more overwhelming to me.

I was more excited when they showcase Palm Jumeirah's opening but after the spectacular events, the country's market went into a limbo, more job lay-offs. I don't want to sound negative but I got a feeling the event shows only another bad facade (hope not). I don't know but reading the news such as this one makes me skeptical.

LOL... On Arabic Dubai TV, they were just repeating that the RUMORS of Dubai's death have been highly exaggerated.

Fireworks is great. But the city is without a penny, guess why it changed name in last second.
