Sheikh Zayed Road is a main road in Dubai which starts a few kilometers west of Deira
and goes west for several kilometers, passing among others Jumeirah Beach and Dubai Marina.
On the far east side of this road most (at least at the time of writing) skyscrapers of Dubai can be found.
On both sides of Sheikh Zayed Road, for about two kilometers, more than 25 skyscrapers taller than 100 meters can be found.
And a few more will be built in the next couple of years.
On this and a second Sheikh Zayed Road page (click here to enter) 26 of these skyscrapers are introduced.
Above: 15 pictures of Emirates Office Tower and Emirates Hotel Tower,
currently the tallest and third tallest skyscraper of Dubai.
The Emirates Office Tower is 355m/1,163f tall, has 54 stories, and was completed in 2000,
The Emirates Hotel Office is 309m/1,104f tall, with 56 stories, and was completed in 2000 as well.
The two buildings are connected by a two-story shopping mall.
Underneath the mall is a parking lot.
