This is going to be the tallest building in the world in the year 2008. Guess from what country will it rise? India? China? USA? Philippines? Read on.

Philippines? What a shocker it would be. But nope, not in the Philippines. It’s in Dubai and it’s called the Burj Tower with a height of almost one kilometer. The building will also contain residential, commercial, hotel and entertainment facilities, including the largest shopping mall in the world. Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the complex will contain a city within a city – a planned Old Town with intimate streets and architectural detail to create a special ambience with the mystery of yesterdays Arabia, in what is expected to be the centrepiece of the Gulf region’s most prestigious urban development.

This is why the price of gasoline continues to soar.
