Etisalat Tower 2

Why go

The tower is worth noticing as part of Etisalat's recurring corporate design language. Its cladding and golf-ball-like rooftop sphere echo features used on the company's buildings in several UAE cities, making the exterior silhouette the reason for a brief look from street level.

What to look for

• A large spherical structure gives the roofline its distinctive profile.
• The cladding follows a design language repeated across Etisalat buildings.
• The 33-floor tower was completed in 2007.

The full story

Etisalat Tower 2 was completed in 2007 as a 33-floor office tower. Its most recognizable feature is the large sphere placed above the roof, often compared with a golf ball. That form was not designed as a one-off flourish. It belongs to a broader architectural identity used on Etisalat buildings across the United Arab Emirates, including towers in Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi. The shared cladding materials and repeated rooftop sphere turned otherwise different office buildings into recognizable parts of one corporate family. From outside, the tower therefore reads on two levels: as an individual high-rise and as one example of a nationwide visual system. Look first at the sphere, then at how the facade supports that branded silhouette rather than competing with it.
