The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "That slave women give birth to their mistresses; and that you see barefoot, unclothed, beginning shepherds competing in the construction of tall buildings."
"Who are the barefoot and naked?" He answered: "The Bedouin Arabs."

How is it any different?

How is ‘burj’ confusing? It’s Arabic for ‘tower’. There are many tall buildings around the world which are ‘something’ Tower – the Petronas Towers, the Sears Tower, the CN Tower, the now-gone WTC Towers, the Eiffel Tower. And nobody seems to be confused as to which is which. In an Arabian country, is it not right that the icons have Arabic names?

Burj?

Is that the only word that is linked with every tower in Dubai? Does anyone realise how confusing it is for the rest of the world?
At first, everyone knew that when one said "Burj", one was referring to the iconic 7 star hotel. Currently ... we have to specify which tower we mean and make darned sure there's no confusion.
Soon there's gonna be a third?
Why such a lack of inspiration when it comes to names? Just name it Al Nakheel and give the rest of us a breather!
