Great pictures!

How are the women out there? I definitely have a thing for Persian women. I think all Arab women are from the same bloodlines no?

You're asking the wrong guy LOL I'm into western looking women, light features, blond hair, etc

Never been into Middle Eastern women, but I'm sure you would be happy over there LOL

Grass is always greener-you know the rest

I strongly prefer dark skinned women. Figures, being that I am pale white of course.

Shrewd. The Burj Khalifa vacancy rate remains, what, 75%, and these clowns want to build another vanity tower, in a continuing recession!? More money than brains.

well chimps, you can't win. if Africans annex their land and the oil, then they would just use it to set each other on fire over potatoes. even with wildlife, oil, diamonds, the whole region still can't buy its' way out of a 3rd world "shit for brains" and tribal mentally.

Listen to some of you guys. Whoever has the tallest building gets prestige for their city and country. That has always been so. Who would remember the Empire State Building if this wasn't true? I would love to photograph this building. Do some big panoramas to get heaps more detail.

The problem is that these days, news gets old very fast.

When the Empire State Building was built, they had a bit more time to bask in its glory.

Now, you can find massively tall buildings almost anywhere.

And people are far more willing to jump off of them, as well.

Look at me, my tower is biggest! Who the fuck cares?

And you would say this if this tower were to be build in the US, you dirty capitalist?

But you are right. It's all about the ongoing competition of east and the west on who has the biggest phallic symbol (towers or bombs).

RIYADH: Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal yesterday unveiled plans to build the world's tallest tower in Jeddah, signing a 4.6 billion riyal (BD463 million, $1.23bn) contract with Bin Laden Group. The proposed tower, which will rise more than 1,000 metres and take just over five years to complete, is the centrepiece of the planned Kingdom City development being built outside Jeddah by Prince Alwaleed's Kingdom Holding.

When completed, it would replace Dubai's 828-metre Burj Khalifa as the tallest tower in the world.

The Jeddah tower, which is to include a hotel, serviced apartments, luxury condominiums and offices, will be designed by US architecture firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill.

Nice going. Now you Arabs can feel really proud: a building built mostly by European and American engineers, payed for with money you made selling them oil(something you did nothing to earn) but you can claim it for yourselves since it will be build in an Arab country.

Because a person could feel proudness of the phallic symbol if it were built and designed by Arabs even though that person had nothing to do with the said phallic symbol. Just shows how simple you are.

Skyscrapers and bridges are pretty fascinating when you think about it. I know with these new monsters they have to take into account temperature and pressure differences at the various heights of the building, especially for the men who are doing the work.

I worked as a project manager for a construction company rebuilding NYC subways for over a year and the underground stuff was pretty neat, but I was always fascinated by bridges and skyscrapers.

what else are they supposed to do with the money? invest it in "homeless shelters"? please. currencies around the world (the arab being the US Dollar ) are losing value by the second. instead of sitting on piles, they want to at least have something to show for their money once they're dead and the oil dries up (if ever). of course these buildings are purely made for vanity, you could make that case for any building in the western world. we could all live in dirt huts, but as a society we've decided to show off our capabilities through bank account balances and house/building sizes.

more power to them, it doesn't affect me in any way. not like they're building a huge missile silo pointed towards Chicago.

LOL, like that idiotic islands build on SAND in the sea in an earthquake active region.

I heard they already started sinking into the sea, max 10 years and they will be gone. Stupid arabs, thowing out their money until the oil runs out.
