Dubai Creek Tower, Observation tower in Dubai Creek Harbor, United Arab Emirates.
Dubai Creek Tower is an observation tower at Dubai Creek Harbor with a slender, minaret-like shape supported by cable stays attached to a concrete core. The building contains multiple viewing decks at different heights, dining venues, and accommodations for overnight visitors.
Construction of the tower began in 2016 with deep concrete foundations as part of Dubai's expansion into the Creek Harbor area. The project represents a shift in the city's development toward new landmarks beyond the established downtown core.
The architectural design by Santiago Calatrava draws inspiration from the desert lily, incorporating elements of regional flora into modern engineering.

The tower's final height remains undisclosed, with estimates ranging between 928 to 1400 meters, positioning it among the tallest structures globally.
