Discover the Middle East’s Leaning Tower of Pisa at Abu Dhabi’s Iconic Capital Gate

Often compared to Italy’s Leaning Tower of Pisa Abu Dhabi’s Capital Gate is in fact an even greater engineering feat leaning more than four times the degree of the World Wonder. Named the “World’s Furthest Leaning Man Made Tower” by Guinness World Records  this cloud-piercing structure is located in Abu Dhabi’s business epicenter, conveniently situated a mere 15 minutes away from the  Abu Dhabi International Airport. Tipped to be one of the city’s most ambitious architectural wonders this wave shaped structure of monumental heights was designed with the stated purpose of catapulting Abu Dhabi to global city status with mind-blowing and utterly unique architectural marvels to its name.

 It is said that iconic buildings are the hallmark of a great city and Abu Dhabi is no different with grand visual representations of the age and the progress made showcased in every corner of its capital city. Capital Gate which is the focal area of Capital Centre was built with this very concept in mind as a flagship building that not only displays the city’s cultural leanings but also its development over the years. Conceived as a visual tribute to its home state Capital Gate was also built in memory of His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the U.A.E who also served as its head of state for a period. Intrinsically linked with the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Capital Gate bridges the gap between the past and the present with its futuristic design elements creating a canopy with the ADNEC grandstand starting at Level 18.

Housing an array of A-Loft hotels Capital Gate also enjoys a wide variety of business services available through the ADNEC exhibition and conference hubs such as the ADNEC Business Centre.
