Almas Tower, High-tech skyscraper in Jumeirah Lake Towers, United Arab Emirates

The Almas Tower reaches a height of 363 meters with 68 floors above ground and 5 basement levels on an artificial island.

The structure, designed by architectural firm Atkins, started construction in 2005 and held the position of Dubai's tallest building until 2009.

The name Almas translates to diamond in Arabic, reflecting the building's role as headquarters for the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre and Dubai Diamond Exchange.

The tower contains 35 elevators, reserved parking spaces, conference facilities, and prayer rooms to serve its office occupants and visitors.

The building's base features a three-story podium sculpted into eight connected triangles supporting two elliptical towers around the central core.
