This is Burj Dubai, the tallest man-made structure ever built. It was started in 2004 and is supposed to be completed later this year. Its final height has not been disclosed but it's already at 2684 feet.
I took this picture the day I was leaving the Emirates to return to America.
Update: The name was changed to Burj Khalifa in honor of the country's ruler. It's appropriate since he bailed out Dubai during the financial crisis.

It's a beautiful picture.
