AS THE PLANE descends towards Dubai’s International Airport a stunning landmark dominates the skyline. The Burj Khalifa, at 828 metres the tallest man-made structure in the world, towers over every other surrounding building. With its patterned design embodying Islamic architecture, it is a magnificent sight. The skyscraper was officially opened on January 4.

A fantastic 10,000-firework display took place in front of 6,000 people including guest of honour Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.
