Another skyscraper in Dubai
(CFP)
Updated: 2008-11-19 23:39  This digital image shows the Anara Tower, the latest in a long list of architectural wonders planned for Dubai's skyline. When completed, the building will be amongst the world's tallest structures soaring to almost 2000 feet (about 700 meters). Designed by UK based Atkins Designs Studio, the visually stunning skyscraper will become the new global HQ for developer Tameer Holding Investment, and is also set to contain a boutique 5 star hotel, four gardens, a major Art Gallery, plus residential, retail and office space. The building's design was inspired by the vertical shape of the Minaret, the tall spire which is a distinctive architectural feature of Islamic mosques. [CFP]
