I will have to talk my wife into a vacation in Dubai when that is finished in 2010.
I hope Marriott builds some new hotels there by then since I have about 800,000 Marriott Rewards points to use up.

They remind me a bit of Taipei 101.
They're not ugly...just weird looking.

The renders seem to be done in typical dubai fashion which means:
1: Showing no other towers around 2: Not showing the reflections, etc properly so the render looks cartoony I'm sure the facade will end up quite different as often happens. Also it needs an improved roof structure since the one now looks tagged on instead of part of the tower. Those nighttime pics though are

I think if these towers were to be built in a different country, they would get a lot of media attention. Imho they are not only very tall, but beautiful as well, very interesting design.
