The highest building in the world will be opened on December 2

Dubai - The opening of the world's tallest building, Burj Dubai, is officially set for December 2nd of this year. The date was intentionally chosen to coincide with the National Day of the United Arab Emirates. The developer of the building, Emaar Properties, kept the opening date and its final height a secret for a long time. The building will reach a height of 818 meters.
      Burj Dubai is part of a vast $20 billion (approximately 360 billion CZK) project, which also includes several other, shorter skyscrapers set among winding waterways and a massive shopping mall. The skyscraper will also house the six-star Armani Hotel of the renowned Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, as well as private apartments and offices.
      Burj Dubai is being constructed with international participation. Architects and engineers are from the United States, the main contractor is from South Korea, security consultants from Australia, and the interior finishing is being done by a Singaporean expert. Czech elevators from Pardubice are also involved in the construction. Among the thousands of workers, many are Indians. According to AP, the only local contributor is actually the designer.
