Since 2016, the United Arab Emirates has begun construction of what is to become the world's tallest tower: the Dubai Creek Tower. Located in a new and huge luxury complex, named Dubai Creek Harbor, the new tower should surpass the current record of the Burj Khalifa, reaching a height of more than 1 kilometer... It could even, according to some rumors, reach more than 1300 meters, burying forever its only current competitor of the Jeddah Tower, in Saudi Arabia.

With such a height, the city of Dubai wishes to keep its title but also to send a strong signal to the international market, in order to attract even more tourists, as the Burj Khalifa did before it... Discover this incredible megaproject in this video!
