The tallest skyscraper in Kuwait, a sculptural tower in the capital defined by a twisting, sweeping form that carves away one side of the building to shade its interior from the sun. Clad in pale stone and glass, its curving silhouette dominates the city skyline. The tower contains offices, a shopping and cinema complex at its base and observation levels near the top. Recognised for its distinctive engineering and shape, it has become the most prominent symbol of Kuwait City's modern commercial development.
