Dubai Creek Tower

United Arab Emirates

The 186th tallest tower in the world

m

Dubai Creek Tower is a proposed supported observation tower to be built in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The preliminary cost of the tower was estimated at AED 3.67 billion. It was expected to be completed in 2021 at the earliest, but tower construction was put on hold at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Project developer Emaar Properties talked about a minimum height of at least 1,300 metres (4, 300 ft), with 13:8 golden ratio with Burj Khalifa; however, in February 2024, it was reportedly reduced to be less than the height of Burj Khalifa, Dubai's tallest skyscraper. The first design is inspired by the Islamic architectural tradition, specifically, the architecture of minarets. Unlike skyscrapers, the floors will be mostly observation decks or sky gardens. An antenna will be used for broadcasting. The tower is being built on a waterfront area in Dubai Creek Harbour.
