Public invited to watch Burj Dubai inauguration from Burj Park Island

Dubai, UAE; December 31, 2009: Members of the public will be able to watch the inauguration of Burj Dubai on January 4, 2010 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President & Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, from the adjacent Burj Park Island.

The 29,000 sq m park is set on Burj Dubai Lake and will be a spectacular new leisure attraction in Downtown Burj Dubai, the 500-acre ‘mega project’ developed by Emaar Properties and anchored by Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building.

Overlooking the Waterfront Promenade of The Dubai Mall, Burj Park Island also has a designated area for viewing The Dubai Fountain, and is immaculately landscaped with greenery and ample seating areas.

Visitors to the park on January 4 will be able to witness the inauguration ceremony of Burj Dubai by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, from a special vantage point. The date also marks the fourth anniversary of the Accession Day of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed as the Ruler of Dubai.

Burj Dubai to welcome first residents from February 2010 onwards

Armani Residences to be handed over first followed by The Residences and The Corporate Suites

Dubai, UAE; December 31, 2009: Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building by Emaar Properties, will receive its first residents as early as February 2010. They will be the first of over 12,000 people who will live and work in the mixed-use tower comprising luxurious apartments, prime office space and the world’s first Armani Hotel, amongst other modern lifestyle amenities.

Following the inauguration of Burj Dubai on January 4, 2010 to mark the fourth anniversary of the Accession Day of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum as the Ruler of Dubai, Emaar will immediately take charge of the property from various consultants, contractors and suppliers. From January 5, the public can access At The Top, Burj Dubai, the world’s highest observation deck on Level 124 of the tower.

Another record, highest Teddy ?

31/December/2009

Burj Dubai

Finally I arrived at the top and unfortunately I cant go higher in the future

I spent 6 hours inside today, special thanks for the CoxGomyl (www.coxgomyl.com ) again , Dony ,Stuart and me done a great job today , climbing inside a spire is hard job and need to concentrate a lot , only one mistake and game over!

Just 5 pics now but from tomorrow I will start to organise the pics and videos and hopefully you will see many interesting pics of the Burj Dubai.











Happy New Year For All Forumers and Skyscraper Lovers !

It's now really becoming exciting. I really hope on some good streams on the internet to follow the inauguration live.

Anyone any idea?

Yes... must be added to next Guiness Book of Records.
You should've saved "Bear Dubai" with a rope though... what a catastrophy if he'd fallen over the railing!

Agree - I rember how tough it was to carelessly climb stuff like transmitter masts by vertical ladders in youth. Wouldn't do that today - but how I'd loved to be on this trip... the award by view and emotions must be fantastic up there, a bit like having climbed Mount Everest.

Can't wait!

What's behind the metal plate on your 3rd pic? I guess it's one of the cubes on top, visible on your spire pic from 25th November'09. Doesn't look like the beacon that's supposed to be there, more like some communication attachment.
