Dubai, a city famed for the world’s tallest tower and scores of iconic architectural marvels, is poised to retain its tourism appeal and status as a 'City of Skyscrapers’ thanks to an array of under-construction high-rise buildings of 300 metres and above.

The new skyscrapers that are set to lift Dubai's tourism appeal include the 100-storeyed Burj Binghatti in Business Bay, which is currently under development to become the world’s tallest residential tower.

Other upcoming Dubai skyscrapers include Ciel Tower (365.5 metres), Il Primo Tower (356 metres), Uptown Tower (340 metres), Regalia (331meterss) and One Za'abeel Tower 1 (330 metres) — all figuring in the world's 100 tallest under-construction buildings, according to a leading property portal.

Dubai Creek Tower, RP One and 106 Tower are other spectacular developments in the pipeline, says Zoom Property Insights.
