Burj Khalifa, Dubai, United Arab Emirates


Postcard IDAE-7699
Country: United Arab Emirates

Hurray! This is my first card from United Arab Emirates! So, now I have 50 unique countries in my stats :)

And this card is absolutely awesome! Here is incredible building and so wonderful night view.

Burj Khalifa, known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is the tallest man-made structure in the world, at 829.8 m.

Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009. The building officially opened on 4 January 2010, and is part of the new 2 km2 development called Downtown Dubai at the 'First Interchange' along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district. The tower's architecture and engineering were performed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of Chicago, with Adrian Smith as chief architect, and Bill Baker as chief structural engineer. The primary contractor was Samsung C&T of South Korea.

Here are 2 stamps, they are nice, but looks too dark after scanning because of its gold color:
