Burj Dubai opening date information updated with the latest “confirmed” opening date of UAE National Day, or 02 December 2009, according to Arabian Business who like to be quick off the mark with their exclusive reports, and never mind the accuracy. UAE National Day is an auspicious enough occasion but a bit of political head scratching reminds us that 02 December is UAE National Day, not Dubai National Day. Would the opening of the Burj Dubai add to or distract from the celebrations for the founding of the UAE?
