Sheikh Mo is building Burj Dubai, which aspires to be the tallest building in the world. The world's largest amusement park and biggest shopping mall are on the way. The sail-shaped Burj al-Arab has been one of the most famous hotels on the planet since it opened seven years ago; it's become such a tourist destination in its own right that it charges about $50 just to go inside to take a look...
