Biggest Cross in the World – in Dubai

It was not planned nor approved. It was just the architectural attempt to make something amazing and to stand out when the ships came into port. It is called the Tower of Arabia.

The Saudis were not happy about the building when it was done. You have to realize this is a strict Muslim country and Muslims hate the cross. But when this was done and it was too late to change the design, everyone realized that they had just put up the tallest cross in the world!

How amazing! I have now seen in Dubai the tallest man, the tallest …

Posted February 7, 2010 at 8:28 pm

Today we arrived in Abu Dhabi. Along the way we saw the world’s tallest man and tallest building (pictures included in the video). We had a powerful time in the outdoor crusade with 2,000 people in attendance for two hours. It was marvelous!

Tallest Man, Tallest Building

Yesterday in one day we saw the world’s tallest building (here too) and just by a fluke accident, the world’s tallest man too. We went into a gas station for the restroom and to get espressos and he walked in.

On Monday we will visit the world’s tallest building and go up to the 124th floor and take pictures. Stay tuned :-)
