Madinat al-Hareer also know as "silk city" is the name of the tower in Kuwait. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madinat_al-Hareer) There is no official render of the Al Burj at 1200m which is the most recent hieght reported. So that would make it impossible to create a diagram that is accurate. Al Burj is atleast half a decade from completion and Madinat al-Hareer could be more then a decade so dont be to conserned about those towers, there a long way off. At the moment Burj Dubai looks better the way it all leads up to a point, reminds me of a man-made mountain! exept futuristic!

Oh sorry, so the towers name is Mubarak, but the city is named "city of silk" or Madinat al-Hareer. That makes sence, and sorry for being of topic...Burj Dubai...Burj Dubai...Burj Dubai...

Hi Culwulla.
Dates are above the pics. 3rd one is from mar 30 and last one is from april 1.
Any that I post have not been posted that I know of. I don't repost ANY that I am aware of bud and I got 3500 of them that I go through before posting so far.

If you would rather that I do not post any previously unseen shots here for everyone, I will keep them to myself. I take alot of time to search out shots that are new to me ( and have not been shown here ) because I want any and all the shots of this wonderful structure I can get. I only share so all can enjoy them as I do. Let me know...

Are you going to say this when Tom Green or Flo get to posting their fantastic outdated pics when they get back from their Burj Dubai trip?

I don't think so.

its just better if the latest photos are the latest photos. confuses everything if its shown lower then again higher. like yo yo.

hey fury, maybe you should make a thread thread with UC pics from BD in the Skyscrapers, Structures and Architecture section.
