Dubai delays debut of tallest tower to January

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Visitors will have to wait until early next year for the opening of the world's tallest building in Dubai.

The media office of the city-state's ruler said Wednesday the hulking Burj Dubai will now debut on Jan. 4, a month later than expected. The new opening date is timed to coincide with the fourth anniversary of Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's appointment as ruler of Dubai.
