Big Ben Tower, Dubai

The AHS Tower, formerly known as the Al Yaqoub Tower is a 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 Yaqoub.
The building design was inspired by Elizabeth Tower 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. There were initially plans to build a working clock on the tower, but was scrapped due to the authorities' fear that the clock would distract drivers on the busy Sheikh Zayed Road below. It also bears a resemblance to the Gevora Hotel, a building located directly north of it.
The 71-storey building stood largely vacant for over a decade following financial and legal disputes. In early 2025, the tower was acquired for $120 million by AHS Properties, which initiated a comprehensive refurbishment to convert the structure into Grade A+ commercial office space. As part of the rebranding, the building's signature clock-tower facade is being replaced with a contemporary all-glass exterior featuring vertical fins. This will reduce the building's height by 125 metres. Despite the extensive ongoing renovations, approximately 95% of the tower's units have already been sold or pre-leased, generating roughly $600 million in sales.
