Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world and its height goes up to 828 metres.

Emaar Properties Chairman Mohamed Alabbar said that the new observation tower would be "a notch" taller than the Burj Khalifa. It is due to open by the time Dubai hosts the World Expo in 2020.

The new mega retail district, which will be launched in 2 months, will be linked to The Tower, Alabbar told reporters.

The chairman said: "The Tower in Dubai Creek Harbour is our tribute to the positivity, energy and optimism that Dubai and the UAE celebrate, led by a leardership committed to all-around progress.

The Tower serves as the vibrant core of Dubai Creek Harbour, a 6 sq. km world-class master planned development that is two times the size of Downtown Dubai and located 10 minutes form the Dubai International airport. The waterfront development is centred off the Dubai Creek, the cradle of Dubai's history and culture, and in close proximity to the Ras Al Khor National Wildlife Sanctuary, protected under the Enesco Ramsar Convention and home to over 67 species of water birds.

The new tower is designed by Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava Valls will not be a traditional skyscraper but more of a cable-supported spire containing observation decks, hanging garden and possibly other tourist facilities.

With over 6.79 million sq m of residential space, 11.16 million sq m of retail precincts, 851,000 sq m of commercial property and 22 hotels with 4,400 rooms, Dubai Creek Harbour serves as a strong economic catalyst for Dubai.

I remember, 1400+ years ago Prophet Muhammad pbuh said : The hour will not be established till the people of desert (the camel shepherds) compete with one another in constructing HIGH BUILDINGS.
Nobody knows when is dooms day except ALLAH. but on being asked on the signs of the last day, The prophet Pbuh mentions \ You shall see the barefoot, naked, penniless shepherds competing in constructing high buildings. The hadith describes people who become RICH all of a sudden and then build NOT for NEED but only in COMPETITION.

We R seeing it in REALITY today... It is a MIRACLE of Prophet of ALLAH and we should PONDER on what Prophet of ALLAH said.
He asked mankind to worship only one God ALLAH and not to associate partners with him. Read QURAN. ALLAH speaks directly to the person who reads it & U will get the message of YOUR LIFE and its solution.

I believe in ALLAH as my LORD ,
Muhammad pbuh as my prophet and
ISLAM as my Deen...

ALLAH knows best."

No doubt Qiyamah is approaching fast. This is one of the signs as per the Hadees of our beloved Prophet S.A. May Allah save His slaves from the Fitnah and safeguard our imaan forever.

Mangaluru, July 28: A screenshot of a death threat message against IAS officer Sindhu B Rupesh, the deputy commissioner of Dakshina Kannada, is now going viral on social media.

The threat comes in the wake of the Deputy Commissioner’s warning against attack on cattle traders by anti-social elements ahead of Eid al-Adha. 

It is learnt that a discussion was held about DC’s warning in a pro-Hindutva WhatsApp group. The death threat was issued in the same group in Tulu language. 

A police officer said that if the deputy commissioner doesn’t lodge a complaint, the police will file a suo motu case in this regard.

Bengaluru, May 18: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Mallikarjuna Kharge on Monday slammed the State Government’s decision to appoint administrative committees to Panchayats, which completes their five-year term, shortly.

Speaking to media persons, the Congress leader described the State Government’s decision on appointing committees as a ‘death knell ‘ to the basic characters of the Panchayat bodies, which were elected on a non-party basis.

Strongly recommending the BJP-led government to desist from its decision, Kharge urged Chief minister B S Yediyurappa to extend the term of the elected bodies of the Panchayats by six months.

Bengaluru, Jul 9: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Thursday said the Covid-19 situation was “getting out of control a little” in some parts of the state, but assured citizens that authorities were taking necessary steps. 

“In some districts, it’s getting out of control a little. But the district administration and police are working day and night,” Yediyurappa said before the Cabinet meeting where the Covid-19 situation will be discussed. 

Speculation is rife that the government might consider stricter measures to curb the movement of people to try arresting the rising number of Covid-19 cases. 

Later in the day, Yediyurappa is slated to inspect the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre, which has been converted into a Covid Care Centre with 10,000 beds. The chief minister said he had ordered “immediate” arrangement of more ambulances for Bengaluru, where cases are rapidly shooting up. 

“A team from the Centre had come. They’ve made some observations and they also appreciated us for some of the things we’ve done,” he added. 

On Friday, Yediyurappa has convened a meeting of all Bengaluru ministers, legislators, MPs and councillors to discuss the Covid-19 pandemic in the city.
