Emirates Office Tower, Skyscraper in Dubai Financial District, United Arab Emirates
The Emirates Office Tower is a 355-meter-tall building with 54 floors in Dubai's Financial District. Its triangular shape and glass-and-steel construction give it a modern, airy appearance.
Construction started in 1996 and the building opened in 2000 as Dubai's tallest structure at that time. It held this status for 8 years before taller buildings were completed.
The tower marks Dubai's shift into a global business center and shapes how the city looks to the world. You see people from many countries working in the offices here, giving the place an international feel.
The building has 17 elevators and connects directly to Emirates Towers metro station, which links to Dubai International Airport. The metro is the easiest way to reach the area if you don't have a car.
The building's courtyard features gardens with water features where peacocks from nearby Zabeel Palace roam freely. These birds are often spotted here, bringing an unexpected touch of nature to this modern business setting.
