Kuwait plans world’s tallest tower ‘Burj Mubarak’: Report /Nu79CEQYCI The Burj Mubarak is also expected to feature seven vertical villages, integrating hotels, residences, offices and entertainment facilities, aiming to provide a complete living experience for its residents.

At 234 stories, the Burj Mubarak would accommodate 7,000 people, making it not only the tallest building in Kuwait, but also the tallest building in the world, surpassing Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (828 meters). The tower’s height of 1,001 meters would be a tribute to the collection of folk tales known as the One Thousand and One Nights, also known as the Arabian Nights, a gem of Arabic literature.

Its design consists of three interlocking, twisted structures designed to withstand winds of up to 240 km/h and the resulting vibrations. The Burj Mubarak is estimated to take about 25 years to complete. The one-kilometer-high Burj Mubarak would be the centerpiece of Kuwait’s ambitious Madinat Al Hareer, or Silk City, project.
