Burj Dubai by gilles delmotte

A fine photograph of the tallest tower in the world and its construction site. The tower is 800 metres high. Behind, on the right, the man built canal which will pass trough the city soon, requiring the destruction of roads and compounds. On the left, the old Dubai, small compounds with sand roads which were surrounded by desert and dunes just 3 years ago. Zooming, you will see all the new towers just coming out of the ground, have a look at the roads and the size of the whole construction site. Look at the number of buses which carry the thousands of workers who work on the site.
