Photos taken 6 months and 3 months apart this year and no sign of Covid slowing this development down.
All I can find online is that they are building a super tall tower, with apartments, offices and boutiques.
I'm in Dubai until the end of January and back out in March, will be interesting to see how much more it grows out of the sand.

The building has currently reached 153ms and will be over 300ms tall when complete. It will have 81 floors and is due to be completed in 2022.
Wow, that progress really is incredible! I can never believe how fast they work over there.
ReplyDeleteit always amazes me
Deletebuildings seems to just magically go up there #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteBlink and you miss it
DeleteSo cool to watch them rise!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy watching them go up
DeleteThey don't hand about in Dubai. The buildings seem to go up so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThere has been someone building a garage for over a year here. I see it on the way to my dad's and there has been little progress over the last few months at all. x
lol, yes the rest of the world is much slower at getting these things done, am guessing money is the main factor
DeleteIt seems nothing will stop them. There must come a point when they have enough tall buildings
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
I worry the land will be saturated soon with foundations
DeleteThey do seem to build super fast. Safe travels! #MySundayPhoto

It's like watching plants grow in the garden
DeleteI visited Dubai a few years back and saw the Burj Khalifa - they certainly do like a tall building! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteoh they sure do and must have the biggest of everything
DeleteIncredible speed they work at, even the roads seem huge. They have planned for the increase in traffic it seems too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
Oh yes, the roads are always built first
DeleteIt's almost miraculous the way the construction moves so fast - Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt almost seems to just grow
DeleteThey really do build things quickly in Dubai. x
ReplyDeleteQuicker than I can keep up lol
DeleteThey do love a good construction project in Dubai don't they? Will be interesting to see if there is any medium or long term impact on Dubai thanks to COVID.
ReplyDeleteWell it’s currently very quiet here due to covid at the moment but it’s not stopping them build just yet
DeleteWow that sure is shooting up fast, always amazes me how fast buildings go up in normal times, building work hasn't ceased in the field behind our house either since Covid started
ReplyDeleteI guess building has been safe to continue with when it's predominately outdoors
DeleteWow, it's grown so much in a short space of time.
ReplyDeleteIt astounds me
DeleteI suspect it will be finished when I next come over
ReplyDeleteGonna complete that tower in 2022? The Emeratis don't much about do they? Look forward to an update when you are back out in March. Your photographs really an amazing collection of what is happening in Dubai. I do hope you're digitising all your images for future reference??!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes I have a full catalogue of photos to use for the rest of the year
DeleteIt is unbelievable how quickly it has grown! I can't imagine how many people must be working on it for it to go up so fast.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to find that info out
DeleteLooks a bit like a Dalek!
ReplyDeleteit does a bit
DeleteAmazing, wonder how many people work on a site like that
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
That is info I need to find out
