Developers are not revealing the exact height of the Burj Dubai until its official debut1.  But they say the $1.5 billion tower will reach 200 stories into the sky.

It will stretch 300 meters higher than Taiwan's Taipei 101, which currently holds the world record at 508 meters.

Dubai leaders hope the tapered2 metal and glass skyscraper3 will help restore investors4' confidence in the emirate.

The state-owned conglomerate5 Dubai World sent stock markets tumbling in November after it announced it could not repay $60 billion in loans.  Neighboring emirate Abu Dhabi came to Dubai's rescue in December with a $10 billion aid package to help Dubai World repay some of its debt.
