Dubai Pearl, High-tech skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The Dubai Pearl is a high-tech skyscraper in Dubai reaching 300 meters tall across 73 floors. Four interconnected towers form the structure, linked together by a ground-level plaza and a sky bridge at the top.

Dubai Pearl was launched by Omnix Group in 2002. Tecom Group acquired it in 2007 and sold it to Abu Dhabi's Al-Fahim Group later that year, after which progress stalled. Construction of the four-tower complex on the circular plot near Palm Jumeirah began in 2008. In 2014 Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Endowment Industry Investment Development reportedly bought a $1.9bn share and promised a restart that never happened; the unfinished structure was demolished in 2023.

The name means "Pearl of Dubai" in Arabic (لؤلؤة دبي). The complex was planned as a self-contained enclave for tens of thousands of people, with apartments, offices, seven hotels, an 1,800-seat theatre, entertainment, retail and restaurants, a function compared to New York's Rockefeller Center. The site now holds only demolition rubble.

The site on Al Sufouh Road is no longer visitable: the unfinished structure was demolished in phases, with the shell blown up in several stages and the plot cleared. The round plot, almost 500 m across, faced Palm Jumeirah. A 2023 proposal by Michael Henderson, Project Moon, would place a 270 m Moon replica on a 30 m circular base there.

The engineering firm e-Construct designed the structure to include four mixed-use towers connected by both a ground-level base and a sky bridge at the summit.
