Dubai is reaching new heights — literally. Known for the iconic Burj Khalifa , Dubai is continuing its race to the top with four of the tallest buildings in the world currently under construction.
These towers reflect Dubai’s global ambition in architecture, real estate, and luxury living. Each one is designed to break records, offering not just height but unique features — from sky mansions and rooftop parks to the world’s highest pool and rainforest.
