Dubai Tallest Building Opening

Emaar Properties, the site's developer, are planning to throw a massive display of "sound, light, water and fireworks" to celebrate the opening and completion of the 818m-tall tower. However, whilst the exterior of the super skyscraper is complete, an army of workers are still labouring to fit out the 162-floor building.

Designed to hold 1,044 apartments, a 160 room hotel, a nightclub, two restaurants and a spa, the tower is already facing losses after property prices in Dubai slumped, however Emaar is hoping that their crown jewel achievement will be more than a mere visual treat.

Tonight, the building will be opened to much fanfare by Dubai's ruler, Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, and an invited crowd of 6000 guests. According to the Emirates news agency WAM, the opening ceremony will feature a batteries of "fireworks, light beams, choreographed water displays, and sound and music effects will describe the evolution of the world's most iconic new building in a breathtaking sensory journey."
