According to TOPHOTELPROJECTS, there are currently 119 hotels with 37,000 rooms are being built in Dubai. The pipeline there is busy in the lead-up to the World Exhibition Expo 2020, with one of the most notable projects another record tower that is about to be built next to the 800 meter-high Burj Khalifa.
The new, even higher, skyscraper will be built by Emmar Properties in the old “Dubai Creek” quarter and will feature a boutique hotel, rotating balconies, a viewing platform and hanging gardens like the legend of Babylon. The new property is expected to be finished in four years.
The height on the new, so far unnamed, tower in Dubai is not yet set. Meanwhile in neighbouring Saudi Arabia, the world’s highest skyscraper is being built in Jeddah. The Jeddah Tower, formerly called Kingdom Tower, will be 1,007 meters high and will include a luxury hotel by Four Seasons and apartments.
