The beauty of Dubai

Burj-Al-Arab [Dubai] - World’s Only 7-Star Hotel

The Burj Al Arab (Arabic: Tower of the Arabs) is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At 321 metres (1,053 ft), it is the tallest building used exclusively as a hotel. However, the Rose Tower, also in Dubai, which has already topped Burj Al Arab’s height at 333 m (1,090 ft), will take away this title upon its opening. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai’s urban transformation and to mimic the sail of a boat.

Water Bridge Over a River


This one is the real technology,even after you see i,t it is still hard to believe!
Water bridge in Germany.6 years 500 million euros,918 meter long,this is the real engineering.
This is the channel-bridge over the river Elbe and joins the former East and West Germany,as part of unification project.it is located in the city of Magdeburg,near Berlin.
The photo was taken on the day of inaugration.
To those who appreciate engineering projects,here is a puzzle for you Armchair engineers and 
physicists.Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and
barge traffic,or just the weight of the water?
