About
Quick facts: Step onto the skybridge and you’ll notice a slight shift in perspective, offering panoramic views that condense the entire city into a small, cinematic model. The reflective stainless-steel and glass exterior reflects thousands of tiny lights after dark, transforming the façades into a dazzling, ever-changing lantern.
Highlights: At 451.9 meters with 88 floors, the twin towers connect by a 58.4-meter skybridge on the 41st and 42nd floors. It is not rigidly fixed, so you can sense it sway gently when wind or structural movements cause the towers to shift. At night, the stainless-steel cladding and Islamic geometric patterns capture and scatter city lights into a shimmering, mirror-like surface. Locals still gather at the fountain plaza at dusk to take photos and buy satay from nearby vendors while the towers glow above.
