Burj Khalifa! Updated for 2024

Updated: March 25, 2024

So, they finally managed to complete the Burj Dubai and get the thing open. Congratulations to Emaar and Dubai on a stunning achievement – and a truly mind-blowing fireworks display – search for it on YouTube if you haven’t seen it.

Like most people, I had a WTF moment on hearing its new name for the first time (let’s just say, ‘Dubai’ sounded pretty good, and even ‘Zayed’ would have had a nice ring to it). And I had a good laugh at hearing somebody has registered ‘burjkhalifa.com’ – how I wish I’d thought of doing that!
I won’t bore you with speculation about what I think the name change actually means.
Happy New Year!
