Burj Dubai seen from Iran?

Not from the mainland anyway. (maybe from one of the islands in the gulf.) The BD can be seen from about 100 Km on a perfect day. Iran is about 140Km (84 Miles) (the actual mainland, not the big island, is about 150Km (90 Miles)





From the spire height Iran just starts to be visible on the horizon where the mouse pointer is. You can see the camera height at the right bottom corner. I'm not sure if it will be visible from Iran in reality.
