Al Yaqoub Tower

Al Yaqoub Tower is a 69-story skyscraper located on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai. Standing at 328 meters, this landmark serves as a vantage point for observing the city's urban layout and skyline.

Getting There

The tower is situated along the main artery of Dubai's city center. Visitors can reach the site via taxi or public transport. Depending on the starting point within the central district, the journey typically takes 10 to 20 minutes.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately one to two hours to visit the tower and observe the surrounding views of the city.

Timing Your Visit

Visiting during the late afternoon or early evening allows for a transition from daylight to city lights.

Like many landmarks on Sheikh Zayed Road, the area can become congested during peak commuting hours.
