Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world, will not open until January 4 next year, it was announced on Wednesday.

The opening will coincide with the four-year anniversary of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum becoming the ruler of Dubai, official news agency WAM reported.

"We decided to inaugurate the world's highest tower during an anniversary that is dear to the hearts of everyone," Emaar chairman Mohammed Alabbar said in a statement.

"The Burj Dubai reflects the ambitious vision set by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid."

Sheikh Mohammed had been "the first supporter of the company and all of its projects since its inception", he added.

Developer Emaar had planned to open the the iconic tower on December 2, Alabbar told CNN last month.

December 2 is the National Day of the UAE.

In the CNN interview, Alabbar said that he was "shooting for UAE National Day", adding that "12,000 staff were working inside trying to get the building ready".

mid 2010 is the realistic date.. if not later.

12000 workers inside ?

How are they going there ? by metro ? by taxi ? or just by walk?

Just drive around the Burj Dubai and you will see the reality and you can calculate . ( 1 bus =40-50 workers

)
