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.

Bengaluru, Jul 23: The Siddi community in Karnataka got its first lawmaker as Governor Vajubhai Vala nominated five persons, including Shantharama Budna Siddi, to the Karnataka Legislative Council on Wednesday.

Shantharama Siddi had been working as a social worker and was a post holder at the Vanavasi Kalyan Prakalpa, a tribal welfare initiative of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

The Siddis, an ethnic group in India, are said to have descended from the people of the East African region. They are included in the list of Scheduled Tribes (ST) in Karnataka.

Apart from the Shantharama, the inclusion of CP Yogishwar, who had left Congress to join BJP in 2017 but failed to retain his seat in the 2018 Assembly polls, is also considered as a big decision.

Adagur H Vishwanath, another former JDS leader, who had quit his party and joined BJP but failed to retain his seat has also caught the attention of the people.

Further, Governor Vala has nominated Talwar Sabanna and Bharathi Shetty to the Upper House in the state.

Mangaluru, May 13: Kannadigas in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have sought additional flights to return to Karnataka during a video conference with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa here on Tuesday.

Noting that most of the ex-pats in UAE were from the coastal region, they urged the state government to ensure that most of these flights land in the Mangalore International Airport.

Many Kannadigas in the UAE were left unemployed due to the lockdown. “Many of them do not have the means to return to Karnataka and the state government should aid them,” representatives of various Kannadiga ex-pat groups urged the CM.

Yediyurappa said that the government has made all arrangements to bring back the ex-pats, and assured to fulfil all their demands.
