... and just barely a third of the way to its final height (160 floors).  Unreal.

Wow, I cannot believe how fast this thing is going up. It's still hard to take in that a tower of such immense size will actually become a reality.  :shok:

The Abbco Rotana Hotel looks well under construction as well. It will be an icon on SZR Road for a while.

Well, at least until some of these other super 100+ Floor tower projects get finished.

is that smog or dust? hopefully dust, or else it's pointless to build something so tall and beautiful if you can't see it. maybe it's going that tall to get out above it.  :P

It's sand. Remember Dubai is in the desert.
