Wicked hi-rez 360 degree panoramic shot from the top of the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai @ 828mts (2,717ft) high.

Using your mouse (and mouse wheel) - or the controls at the bottom of the window - you can look around and enjoy this cool view :eek:

Whats cool is the zoom - zoom it in and give a few secs for the pic to load :eek: You can even see planes parked at Dubai Airport (DXB)

If you have a massive smart TV or your computers hooked up to your TV you are in for a TREAT. Go fullscreen :)

Aren't they sinking? the recession can't of helped either.

I aren't sure, but going by their latest engineering marvels, they ain't the type of people who give up that easily!

Stunning though.

By the news clippings, seems everyone is suing each other and the project all bar two has stop, dead in the water if you excuse the pun.
 
It's going to be interesting to see how Dubai fairs when the oil runs out.

Don't you mean "how the world fairs"?

I went to Dubai (and up the Khalifa) on October, fascinating country. What's more interesting is what will happen when Saudi gets fed up of UAE's decadent western ways. Saudi own over 85% of the world's oil, haven't wasted it on mega structures and they originally controlled UAEs land when under clan-control. Bin Laden was from Saudi. All an interesting mix.
