Over the last decade, skyscrapers have been rising in the UAE on the back of rapid urban development and economic growth.
Since the world's tallest building Burj Khalifa was completed in 2010, a number of other towering structures soared into the sky in the years that followed.
More towers are in the pipeline. Just last month, a developer announced that it is building 'the world's tallest residential structure' in Dubai. The emirate's 356m-high Gevora Hotel — which opened in 2018 along the Sheikh Zayed Road — is also set to lose its 'world's tallest hotel' title to another mega project that is being constructed in Dubai Marina.
Currently, the country's glittering skyline is home to seven out of the 10 tallest towers in the GCC, according to real estate data mining firm Emporis and Meed.
Here's the list:
1. Burj Khalifa, Dubai, UAE (828 metres)
