Al Yaqoub Tower

1

The Al Yaqoub Tower is a 328 m tall skyscraper on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The tower topped out in 2010 and was completed in 2013. It has 69 floors. The building is owned privately by Daro Saifuddin Yaquob, and functions as a 224-room hotel. The building design was inspired by Elizabeth Tower (more commonly known as Big Ben) in London, due to which, the tower is also called the Big Ben of Dubai. However, no clock face is present on Al Yaqoub Tower. It also bears a resemblance to the Gevora Hotel, a building located directly north of it.
