　　Dubai-owned airline Emirates said it would build one of the world’s tallest hotels to cater for growing numbers of tourists to the Gulf Arab emirate.

　　The Dubai Tower will be the tallest building in the world when finished. It would dwarf the 553m CN Tower in Toronto and planned high-rises in Shanghai and New York.

　　Some 4000 workers and 100 cranes have gathered to build the hotel, residential and shopping complex of at least 700m which will include over 1000 luxury apartments.

　　The exact height is being kept a secret, partly for fear of rival bids to be the tallest free-standing building, and because by 2008 it might be technologically possible to go even higher.
