    Sky Tower

    See Sky Tower on Al Reem Island, a 292-metre residential and commercial building with a distinctive profile and views across the Gulf.

    Sky Tower is a 292-metre residential and commercial building in the Shams Abu Dhabi district of Al Reem Island. Completed in 2010, it is known for its height and distinctive place on Abu Dhabi’s skyline, with views across the Gulf and the island from its residences. The building has commercial space on lower floors and homes above. It is primarily a place to live and work, so check access before planning a visit inside; nearby Reem Mall is another stop on the island.

    Sky Tower is a working residential and office building, not a dedicated public observation tower. The views across the Gulf and Abu Dhabi island are associated with its residences, so confirm access before making plans to go inside.

    If you are driving, signs in the parking area point toward the lift entrances and can help you find the right way to the building. Reem Mall is nearby, and the Beach Towers complex is a short drive away.
