Abraj: The Two Towers Of Dubai



No, we're not making Lord Of The Rings references here. 'Abraj' is the Arabic plural term for 'multiple towers,' and refers to two of the the most iconic buildings in Dubai: The Burj Al Arab (A 6 star hotel), and the Burj Khalifa, which is as of now the highest tower in the world with 211 floors. Philip Bloom created this video as an ode to the two buildings, which in the worlds eye defined the 'new' Dubai.

We actually stopped at the Dubai airport once for a layover (One of the most beautiful airports we've seen yet), and could see the Burj Khalifa from miles away reaching into the heavens. I hope to go back someday and give the place a proper visit.
