The Tower, High-rise building in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The Tower is a 243-metre, 54-storey skyscraper on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, completed in 2002 and standing near the Burj Khalifa. Its most recognisable feature is a pyramidal crown, and its form has been compared to the Nine Penn Center in Philadelphia, the nearby Al Yaqoub Tower and Elizabeth Tower in London.

The Tower was completed in 2002 on Sheikh Zayed Road, rising 243 metres over 54 floors. It went up during the building boom that followed the 1979 Dubai World Trade Centre, the city's first high-rise, and stands near the Burj Khalifa.

The Tower's name is simply the English word for a tower, used as the building's official title on Sheikh Zayed Road. Its stepped, pyramid-shaped crown is often compared to Philadelphia's Nine Penn Center, London's Elizabeth Tower and the neighbouring Al Yaqoub Tower. The building stands close to the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa fountain.

The building is easily reached through major roads and public transportation and connects well to the central business district. Visitors will find ample parking nearby and can explore the area on foot.

The Tower's stepped, pyramid-shaped crown makes it resemble Philadelphia's Nine Penn Center, London's Elizabeth Tower and the nearby Al Yaqoub Tower. Completed in 2002, it stands 243 metres tall with 54 floors on Sheikh Zayed Road, close to the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall.
