Economy doesn't run by a person or community...... ...
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 in the Financial sector of the country and STOP rumors about the crisis issues.
People need to check what individual measures shall be adopted to contritbute to support the cause.
Such extravaganza event will definitely required at this point of time to show the solidarity among UAE and GCC region
Well said OLIVE..It must be the secret from inside where KHALIFA agreed to bail out DUBAI only with this condition that he shld name BURJ KHALIFA and not BURJ DUBAI..lolzzzzzzzzz..Neways, who cares??? V got the tallest structure in ASIA..V r proud of that no matter they spent like crazy...
I don't mean funny as in disrespectful, just...funny...Because of the view Dubai gives to the world as the rich hub, when really all their money comes from Abu Dhabi. It seems like now they finally have to admit it. :)

I think BURJ DUBAI was the most suitable name for that GIANT TOWER..
I wonder how many accidents must have happen in Construction of the Tower, :( poor labours
"Don't Touch what you can't AFFORD"
LOL! The Burj Khalifa. LOL. Sorry I just find that incredibly funny.
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.
Bigbro, y can't u keep ur BIG MOUTH shut??? U have this nature to bash females where in one post as well where a lady doctor wanted to remove her ID, u really gave a very bad answer to her..SHAME ON U !!!!!
Coming to my comment, i don't have ne pblm with what dubai has achieved..Thats not my country..let them do what they wanna do??? If u will look into their consturction aspect, u will come to know how much steel, glasses and what not have been used in making that giant tower??? I don't think its a wise move..We all know abt dubai's condition, whoz gonna to stay there??? I think it will be u, BIG BRO.....

fine jack..so how was ur vacation? 7.o clock will start live burj dubai inagruation on asianetnews channel:) so u visit godsown country?
pajju-mon....thanks....how are you?....:)
Dubai created itself into a Tourist destination...thats not easy for any country....big or small....especially in a desert.....
If anybody wants to Tour the GCC....Dubai as a choice stands head neck and shoulders above others....just because of these man-made structures & facilities....
Its neighbors will take another 25 yrs to overtake Dubai!
But Dubai has to offer short-term (3days to 1 week) visa on arrival to everybody....for maximum tourism-related-business to take place.
jack welcome back :)
Very Fantastic .... And Expected in Doha .......
The most stupid comment on this tread was from soniya. Girl you have topped the list again. Congrats to Dubai for achieving something and congrats to Soniya also to achieve First rank in stupidity.

pic number 1 ,2 & 3 :-))))all are very beautiful...
In UAE they announced a 1400 Meter building after starting this one, Saudi announced a 2800 Meter building, wonder how long will this stay as the tallest building.
The building itself is really freaking tall, I went up to 100th floor a couple of years back and there was still so much of it left. Got a pain in my neck from looking up.
