Dubai City Tower, Unfinished skyscraper in Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Dubai City Tower is a proposed skyscraper in the Emirate of Dubai designed to reach 2,400 meters across 400 floors. The project was meant to be one of the world's most ambitious construction undertakings, though it never advanced beyond the planning stage.

The project emerged in 2009 during Dubai's rapid growth period, when the emirate was planning massive construction ventures. Financial difficulties following that period prevented the tower from ever being built.

The tower design includes a vertical bullet train system capable of reaching speeds of 120 mph, reflecting Dubai's interest in advanced transportation solutions.

The location sits in Dubai's main development zone near other large construction projects. Since the building was never constructed, there is no on-site access for visitors.

The project included plans for an innovative vertical high-speed rail system designed specifically for rapid movement within the structure. This transportation feature would have reached speeds around 120 kilometers per hour.
