Over the past few decades, Dubai has quickly risen to the top of most travellers’ wish lists. Many record-breaking buildings now call this reclaimed desert area home, with the Burj Khalifa taking centre stage ever since 2010. The 828-meter building has been a constant in all Dubai trip guides, but a new skyscraper could be built in the following two years. The Creek Tower Dubai has reportedly been under construction for some time and might reach heights of nearly a kilometre. Before choosing its current name, the magnificent skyscraper was first known as Dubai Creek Harbour’s Tower. We can’t wait to see what the next big thing in Dubai is going to be, especially given its savvy ideal position and astounding height!

Dubai is getting ready to construct another another skyscraper that will be slightly taller than the Burj Khalifa, the largest structure in the world. The building that is now known as “Dubai Creek Tower” as part of the reconstruction of the Dubai Creek area is officially stated to be only 828m+ high, but according to unconfirmed reports, the Creek Tower’s final height will be 1300m.

HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the building’s ruler, lay the building’s cornerstone; it is scheduled to be finished in 2020. The Dubai Creek, rumoured to be the invention of Emaar Properties, the same firm that produced the Burj Khalifa, is now being developed.

The thin building will include many observation decks, interior gardens, and 360-degree city views. Additionally, it is claimed that the building uses materials of the highest quality and international standards to reduce the risk of fire.

When the hyper-tall Dubai Creek is finished in 2022, it will surpass all other man-made structures as the tallest tower in the world (exact dates TBA). It is the focal point of Dubai Creek Harbor, which is located around 8 kilometres to the east of Burj Khalifa. The National Wildlife Sanctuary of Ras Al Khor is not far from the Dubai Creek, which has long been the city of Dubai’s historical and cultural heart.

The tower is anticipated to contain 10 observation decks that would provide 360-degree views of Dubai’s metropolis from an unheard-of height. These viewing decks will contain vertical hanging gardens and are modelled after the historic Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

In addition to the internal decks, it is anticipated to include numerous smaller rotating platforms that resemble balconies placed at the edge of the deck, half of which is outside the tower’s façade. Visitors can be transported to an outdoor area by these spinning platforms to soak in the more breathtaking sights.
