Iran made visible from 124th floor of Burj Dubai

Dubai, Oct 19 (UNI) World's tallest building, being built here, will soon be able to provide a glimpse of a neighbouring country from its 124th floor, authorities confirmed.

Visitors to Burj Dubai, set to become one of the most popular attractions on the planet, will be able to take an express lift to a viewing gallery on the 124th floor for panoramic views stretching 100km to Iran by 2009, it was announced yesterday.

For a small fee ''yet to be decided'', people can reach a viewing platform in 90 seconds and, with some speculation, visitors will be able to see Iran on a clear day.

Project Director of Burj Dubai Greg Sang refused to let slip the final height of the building but confirmed it would be more than 700 metres and will eventually be the tallest manmade object, a local daily reported.
