Burj Dubai is a skyscraper under construction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is the tallest man-made structure on Earth. Construction began on September 21, 2004, and it is expected to be completed and ready for occupation in September 2009. As of 12 May 2008, Burj Dubai has reached a height of 636 m (2,087 ft), with more than 160 completed floors.
Burj Dubai’s final milestone will be to surpass the Warsaw radio mast in Konstantynów near Gąbin, Poland (which stood at 646.4 m (2,121 ft) until it collapsed in 1991) to become the world’s tallest structure of any type ever built.

DUBAI,- FEBRUARY 22: In preparation for the Dubai Duty Free Men’s Open, tennis legend Andre Agassi of the USA and the World’s No. 1 Roger Federer of Switzerland, couldn’t resist the temptation to have a friendly ‘hit’ on the world’s most unique tennis court, the Helipad of the Burj Al Arab, the world’s most luxurious hotel. Standing 321 metres high on a man made island, the majestic Burj Al Arab is without doubt the most recognizable hotel in the world. The hotel’s helipad, which is situated 211 metres high covers a surface area of 415 square metres. Roger Federer is the reigning champion of the Dubai Duty Free Men’s Open and is making his third appearance in the tournament. For Agassi this is his first time to appear in the ATP tournament where he has already progressed to the second round having beaten Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic. The pictures were taken on February 22, 2005, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by David Cannon/Getty Images)
