The 'Emirates Towers' complex contains the '
Emirates Office Tower' and '
Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel'
skyscrapers, respectively the 12th (355 m, 1163 ft) and the 29th (309 m, 1014 ft)
tallest currently-standing structures in the world
[1], and a 9,000 m² (96,875 ft²) two story retail complex known as 'The Boulevard' connecting the two towers. The complex is located on the
Sheikh Zayed Road in
Dubai,
United Arab Emirates. The sister towers are a symbol of Dubai City.
