Topics: Destinations

Capital Gate, the Abu Dhabi office and hotel development set for completion by the end of 2010, has been certified as the World’s Furthest Leaning Man made Tower by Guinness World Records.

The tower project, has been built to lean 18 degrees westwards - more than four times that of the world famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. The building will house Hyatt Capital Gate hotel as well as premium office space.

I have never had an interest to visit the Middle East. Mainly due to the heat which I hate.

    Hi Adrian, thanks for sharing. I think it’s like us here in Kuala Lumpur, the KLCC is just another building that we see everyday. :)

    Capital Gate - just another example of how money does not buy good taste. Ghastly.
