Both the Burj and Kingdom tower are attempts at creating an international hub the likes of which doesn't currently exist in the middle east and also they are attempts at diversifying these countries economies. Dubai 15 years ago was a tiny fishing village nobody had every heard of and UAE was a place thought of only in connection to oil. Now Dubai is advertised around the globe as a tourist destination. |
Yes, because building a massive tower in order to garner international recognition worked so well for Dubai... |
- I believe it did work for Dubai. Before they build all those towers, nobody ever heard of it. Now they Dubai is recognized in movies and pop culture. Yes, my wife still cannot find it on a map, but she also cannot find Hong Kong and still knows of its existence.
