Tower To Reach For Arabian Nights

Samsung has been selected to build the world's tallest building next year in Dubai. The Burj Tower will be a full half-mile high, 2,640 feet, or 800 meters. No quibbling about whether the antenna counts, this will be 201 meters taller than the Taipei101 building which currently holds the title. The building will contain a hotel, shopping mall, offices and luxury apartments. Giant gorillas not included.
